CHARLES FREY ‘19 | STAFF WRITER • Brothers, No-Shave November has started and events are starting to happen all over campus. Also known as “Movember,” No-Shave November started as a month to grow out facial hair to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancers. Recently though, the month has encompassed much more than growing a beard and spreading cancer awareness. The new topics range from cardiovascular strength to positive mental health, and many more. According to us.movember. com, two friends, Travis Garone and Luke Slattery met at a bar in Melbourne, Australia in 2003. During their conversation, they brought up mustaches and joked about bringing the fashion trend back. The two sent an email out and quickly gathered 30 guys willing to join them and the first “Movember” was formed. They asked for $10 donations to “Grow a Mo.” The group grew immensely between 2004 and 2006, adding thousands of participants and striking their first partnership with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. The Movember Foundation added their second Australian partner, ‘beyondblue,’ in 2006 after research showed that depression is another significant factor in men’s health. By 2007, the Movember Foundation decided to go international and spread its message to the U.S. and U.K., where the word has continued to spread to this day. Since its foundation, the company has raised over $710 million for various men’s health campaigns and over five million “Mo Bros” and “Mo Sistas” have donated and “changed the face of men’s health.” As Wabash students, there will be plenty of opportunities in the coming weeks to support all sorts of men’s health campaigns across campus.
