This month is October, but it has almost finished. Next month it will be Movember! Of course, the month is really called November. But it is also the month when men all around the world grow moustaches, or mos. A man who does this is called a mobro.

Men grow moustaches so more people talk about men's health problems. And also to get money for charity.

Men do not talk about their health problems very often and this should change. The problems which Movember helps are, prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health.

Money raised in the Czech Republic, is used in this country. It goes to the charity NADAČNÍ FOND MUŽI PROTI RAKOVINĚ.

I will be growing a moustache again this year, it is my second time. So please help me raise money for this great cause. Make a donation (GIVE MONEY) at mobro.co/neilhayes
