Almost time to grow that mo

Support Movember. Be Lekker.

The Handlebars, the Chaplin, the Dali — whatever your preference, there is a moustache style for every man out there.

This timeless symbol of a gentleman is refined, stylish and statement for the world to see. THIS MAN is bold. THIS MAN is power.

With Movember almost upon us, men from all walks of life are gearing up for the facial hair event of the year. Stache wax, beard oil, a fine tooth-comb, all the stops are being pulled out for the 30 days of November, and we at CN&CO are no different. Always attracted to a charitable cause, especially one that promotes the fight against cancer, we will be participating fully in the month and hope you are too.

Since 2003 over R5-billion has been raised for funding of programmes focusing on prostate and testicular cancer, mental health and physical activity. The movement has grown over the years, too, and includes two main initiatives to promote awareness of men’s health:

1. Grow your mo: for the 30 days of November give the utmost care to your upper lip’s hair and grow your mo into any style that you see fit. Become a walking, talking billboard for men’s health.
2. Take the MOVE Challenge: As an additional way to support the ‘stache effort, the MOVE challenge involves being active every day for better health. If you can’t grow the mo then this is the ideal alternative.

Whichever initiative appeals to you, register yourself or a team on the Movember website and support the mo!

If you don’t want to join a team but are keen to donate, pick your favourite from our friends below:

From the Johannesburg region? Check out the Purple Mo’s.

Surfing in East London? Then drop Jono Bruton some mo-love.

Personally we will be running some internal and external competitions so watch our social media channels. I will be leading the charge at CN&CO to get some decent handlebars going.

The bottom line: show your support for Movember in any way you can and get involved to make a difference!
