Movember 2009

At least ten IFG staff in several jurisdictions participated in this year’s “Movember”.

Movember is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer.

“Mo Bros”, supported by their “Mo Sistas”, start Movember (November 1st) clean shaven and then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache. During Movember, each Mo Bro effectively becomes a walking billboard for men’s health and, via their Mo, raises essential funds and awareness for Movember’s men’s health partner – The Prostate Cancer Charity.

Movember has continued to grow each year, both in terms of participation numbers and funds raised. In its first year, 30 Mo Bros took part in Movember and last year, across the globe more than 173,000 Mo Bro & Sistas got on board, raising more than £14 million across the Movember’s men’s health partners globally. To date, Movember has raised over £30 million globally for the fight against prostate cancer and depression in men. As a direct result, male awareness of health issues has improved with Movember helping to spread health messages directly to millions of people around the world.

Between them, IFG Staff were able to raise over £1,800 and we have some photos below showing off their Mos….. Well done to you all!
