(mods if this thread isn't appropriate, please delete)

Folks, this year I am going with Movember to raise awareness of men's health issues, and depression and anxiety in particular.

What's Movember? I don't know how known it is outside of Aus/NZ. During Movember, men pledge to grow a moustache to pull in donations that go towards men's health issues. The rules: you must start clean-shaven, you must grow a moustache (obviously), it can't be a beard or goatee. You can learn more at movember.com or au.movember.com.

If you'd like to donate, my page is right here. Even if yu don't or can't, if you visit the page you'll see pictures of me pulling silly faces with a rather infeasible moustache. :) It might brighten your day. Or horrify you. Or both.

FWIW, it's widely publicized in the U.S. as well. Good luck with the fundraising and/or moustache :D

Also, this seems relevant.

 ??? How does that work, exactly?

  • 1: Grow Mustache
  • 2: ? ? ?
  • 3: PROFIT! DONATIONS!

Yeah, it's a bit counter-intuitive :) The way I'm doing it is mainly through social media.
