During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growing a Mo. That’s right I’m bringing the moustache back, because I want to help tackle men’s health issues and fight prostate cancer.The Movember rules are simple. I start out on the 1st clean shaven, and for the rest of the month grow the most awesome moustache humanly possible within one month!Here’s where you come in. You help out with a donation to help beat the most common form of cancer among men, and in return on the 30th of October I let you vote on the shape of my upcoming soup-strainer. Here’s where it gets interesting. The higher the total, the bigger the choice. Here’s the breakdown:
- £0-500 – Not bad. The tache looks respectable, even pretty good in a pastiche kind of way.
- Errol Flynn/Clark Gable
- Johnny Depp
- £501-1000 – Pretty good. Serious face-caterpillar time.
- Borat
- Tom Selleck
- £1001-1500 – Now we’re cooking with gas. I either get mistaken for:
- Merv Hughes
- Ron Jeremy
- £1501-2000 – Smoking. Getting out the tache comb and wax for some serious swash buckling.
- Salvador Dali
- The “D’Artagnan” – complete with triangular goatee.
- £2000+ Facezilla destroys Tokyo!
- General Ambrose Everett Burnside
But wait! There’s more!
Every day in Movember I’ll take a photo of the tache progression, and animate it so you can see the magic happen in internet time at the end.
As you can see, every little bit helps. So you get to have a bit of a laugh for a month and get to feel good for helping out with a great cause. “But Jake? How do I get in on this sweet deal?” I hear you say. It’s real easy…
- Go to https://www.movember.com/uk/donate and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account.
- Email me at jakekemail-movember at yahoo dot com dot au.
I will then add you to the “special” mailing list that lets you… Pimp My Face.
The money raised by Movember is donated to the good people at The Prostate Cancer Charity which will have an enormous impact on many men’s lives, and the awareness will help us to fight prostate cancer on every front – through research, support, information and campaigning.
Did you know…
- Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. 35,000 men are diagnosed every year and one man dies every hour.
- 1 in 11 UK men will be diagnosed in their lifetime .
For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at:

Movember culminates at the end of month Gala Partés. If you would like to be part of this great night you’ll need to purchase a [Gala Parté Ticket].
