Mo-mentum

I'm a Native Australiam and proud of it. If you'd have told me at age 36 I'd be living in California, I'd have been skeptical. If you'd added that I'd become CEO of the largest non-government funder of prostate cancer research by encouraging men to grow mos (Aussie slang for "moustaches") I'd have said you were batty. But it's true. A conversation with my brother and some of our mates about eighties style turned into a competition to bring back the mo. We met on November 1 with clean-shaven faces. For 30 days we grew some of the best-and worst- moustaches ever. "What if we connect mos to a cause? I said. We agreed on an issue that affects men world-wide: prostate cancer. We've taken the campaign to more than 10 countries and expanded to include other men's cancer and diseases like depression. Last year 450,00 men participated in MOvermber and raised over 81 million dollars for research, advocacy and awareness. We're changing the face of men's health, one mo at a time.
