MoVember is a movement started to bring awareness to men's health and more specifically prostate cancer.
In 2004, a group in Melbourne Australia organized an event where 30 men would grow a mustache for 30 days in order raise awareness for prostate cancer and depression in men. This group would later become the Movember Foundation Charity.

"Here's how all this started...
In 2004, a group in Melbourn Australia organized an event where 30 men would grow a mustache for 30 days in order raise awareness for prostate cancer and depression in men. This group would later become the Movember Foundation Charity.
The Movember Foundation has since raised $174 million worldwide after spreading to South Africa and Europe and reaching North America in 2006. In 2010, participants in the United States alone raised over $7.5 million. In 2012, 1.1 million people signed up to participate and raised upwards of $95 million.
As the granddaughter of a prostate cancer victim, this is an important issue and I hope that with your help we can bring greater awareness in our little community. Take the time to slap on a ‘stache, shoot a selfie (or one of a friend) and post it on your page and to our little group (make sure to tag it Movember) … and then, when someone asks “why the stache?”, you can be part of the Movember Movement yourself ! The pics don't have to be of your avi.. get creative !
And PLEASE tell all your male friends to get checked.. early detection is critical (starting at 50 and then again at 55, 60, and 70)
Thanks and hugs,
Daze <3"
Friends Evan, Ming, Ted, Lars, Arturo, and Henry attended a Movember event. Some had grown moustaches while some had improvised moustaches.
Toy Sunday for the theme: Moustache
I uploaded this image on 14 November 2011, the day before I went into hospital to have my prostate removed after being diagnosed with prostate cancer back in the summer. This coincided with Movember, the fantastic awareness and money raising campaign for men's cancers which is marked by men around the world growing moustaches for the month of November.
To 'celebrate' this, each November since then, for every view of this photo I have donated 10p to charity, equally split between Movember and Macmillan Cancer Care.
In 2011 the image had 1,166 views and, rounding up, I donated £60 to each. In November 2012 it was 372 views (I donated £20 to each) and then in November 2013 it was 1,337 views (which meant £66.85 to each).
If by any chance you feel inclined to donate more yourself then click on either (or both) of the following links:

As an aside, the image is dated October 1907 and I believe the gentleman on the left is John Hook. The other chap looks similar and I suspect from the obvious familiarity may be his brother. I hadn't mentioned when I uploaded this image that it was one of three similar images, all with slightly varied poses. They make a great triptych.

Update November 2014: Here we go again! I can't believe it's now three years since I had my prostate removed. After a blip and a course of radiotherapy early this year things are looking good again :) So it's time to repeat the challenge and donate again to two very worthy causes! For the record, as of the start of the month the image had had 16,112 views.
Update November 2013: For the third year running I've donated 10p for each view on this image during the month of November, split between Movember and Macmillan. Flickr has changed the way it reports stats, which led to a whopping 1,337 views. Ouch! But it's all to two great causes ... So that's £66.85 each to Movember & Macmillan.
Update December 2012: For the second year running I donated 10p for each view on this image during the month of November, split between Movember and Macmillan. In 2012 this amounted to 327 views, so I've rounded it up and donated £20 to each. In fact thanks to The Big Give and Gift Aid, plus a donation from pellethepoet, the total amount raised is £86.35:

Fred has set himself a target for Movember.
(60 days remaining till the end of the year!)
Think about this for a second: globally, men die 6 years earlier than women. To make it worse, the reasons are largely preventable. 1 in 9 men in the US will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And 3 out of 4 suicides in the US are men.
Pretty shocking, right? That’s why I’m doing Movember this year: they’re dedicated to changing the face of men’s health and so am I.
The money I raise this Movember will help fund groundbreaking research, innovative health projects, scientific breakthroughs for cancer treatments and life-changing mental health programs.
The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember.
Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.
The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The plan was simple – to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003, but the guys behind the Mo realized the potential a moustache had in generating conversations about men’s health. Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement.
The funds raised through Movember’s UK campaign benefit the The Prostate Cancer Charity (TPCC), the UK’s leading prostate cancer charity.
The money raised as a result of Movember is channelled by our men’s health partner into a number of world class and innovative education, support, research and awareness initiatives.
The success of Movember can be directly attributed to the more than 627,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas who have supported our cause since 2003. Movember is sincerely grateful for their efforts and appreciate all they do.
For those of you new to Movember, we challenge you to join us in changing the face of men's health.

My fake Mo is not just a concept, it's an attitude.

DaisyDaze Resident, the granddaughter of a prostate cancer victim, spent time in SL asking people if they knew about MoVember and overwhelmingly the answer had been “No”!
Opening up this group, and this photo challenge this November (2014) will hopefully be the start of greater awareness in our little community. Take the time to slap on a ‘stache, shoot a selfie (or one of a friend) and post it on your page and to our little group (make sure to tag it Movember) … and then, when someone asks “why the stache?”, you can be part of the Movember Movement yourself !

Annual event involving the growing of mustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.
Hello everyone.
If you followed my 366 then you'll know that during it I took part in Movember. Movember is a challenge to start November clean shaven and spend the rest of the month growing a moustache. This is day 10.
Why? To help raise money for the treatment and eventual cure of prostate cancer.
Please help if you can, and follow my progress.
You can donate here: uk.movember.com/mospace/656724/
And remember, if you DO donate I will ALWAYS be your friend.
Forever.
Seriously, it'll get creepy eventually but don't think about that. We'll have some good times!
So it's Movember time again. This year as well as growing my Mo and supporting Movember I thought I'd use my photography skills to see if I can combine them with my Mo to raise more money for Movember!
If you need to here more about Movember read uk.movember.com/mens-health/
If you want to sponsor me go to mobro.co/OliverCWright
If I manage to raise £500 I'll do this same shot in the nude!
Movember Continues.
My upper lip has been transformed beyond recognition. It itches. It stores food*, it attracts strange looks. It isn't even properly ginger!!!!

Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of men's health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men's suicide.
I now have taken on the challenge, one photo each day: a month of men with moustache and beard, LOL, HELP, will I make it?
Gentlemen, look after yourselves, NOT just in November… although it is a good thing bringing it to your attention in this month!
Thanks, M, (*_*)

Been trying to get my Movember page set up for this year. The third year I've done this.
So here's something.
Get talking about men's health.
It's that time of the year again so I thought I'd have some fun with it.
580ex II @ 1/2 power in a wescott softbox camera right by about 6 inches.
The days of the Elites on the X7 Coastrider Express service are numbered as the new Elite i coaches with higher capacity better suited to this fast growing service enter service later this month.
As such Elite 53722 may be forgiven for not shaving in its last few weeks as its sports a Movember moustache as Stagecoach join in mens heath campaign.
I think this is soooo cute , i was laying on the floor and she had to check out what i was doing but she didn't want her photo taken :)
To me her lips look like a wonderful bushy moustache , so this is her Movember shot.
Textures used : Grey Wall Texture and Texture #1 Cracked Wall both my own

......or "Mo Bros". Movember is an annual, month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of Men's health issues and in support of associated cancer charities. Best viewed on Black.
(And these finely moustachioed gentlemen were actually photographed in November of 1899!)
There's a wee mystery here. Most of these chaps are either tradesmen and/or members of the 3rd Division, Ambulance (probably in Waterford)? Could that have been a voluntary body? What say you, Flickroonies?
Photographer: Poole Photographic Studios, Waterford
Date: Friday, 3 November 1899
NLI Ref.: POOLEIMP 682
This photograph features in our Working Lives, 1893-1913 exhibition at the National Photographic Archive in Temple Bar, Dublin.

Also for this weeks emulation.

The second shot I had in mind was a bit more simplistic and minimal in the angle and the lighting used, plus I really wanted to make full use of the 50mm potential depth of field properties. I shot this with my Nikon D3100, Nikkor 50mm and lit it up using one Canon 540EZ at 1/8 the power with my Lastolite ezybox set behind me and too the left . This is another shot ive used to explore Lightroom and all that can be done with it, and on this shot I used it to continue the minimal theme with some slight adjustments to the tone and saturation.
Une création unique et fun pour un movember qui s'annonce!
