Hey all, first time poster, long time lurker. I just wanted to share something that happened at my internship the other day. I came in to find one of my bosses putting up a poster and donation bin for "Movember," a fundraising site/event dedicated to spreading information about "men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives."

He asked me to sign up and start growing a mustache this Thursday, which I will be doing despite the fact that while my beard is excellent, my 'stache sucks.

Right on the site it says that the event is aimed at "prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health ."

I thought /r/mensrights would enjoy reading about a positive experience. At a workplace, the issue of men's health specifically is being promoted through a growing network and cause. We always see information about events aimed at women's breast cancer awareness. I'm not bashing that, but I would like to make the point that we rarely hear about promoting awareness and support for our brothers. At least nothing the size and scale of the Susan G. Komen walks/foundation.

Here is the website if anyone is interesting in supporting the cause and growing a wicked 'mo for the month of November.
