During November each year, since 2004, men from around the UK grow moustaches, without shaving once, to raise vital awareness and funds for male health, in particular prostate and testicular cancer.
A Cardiff University has formed a team this year, and is encouraging students to register on the official Movember website, uk.movember.com, to start receiving sponsors and fundraising.
Cardiff University student, Aaron Matthew, who is helping to promote Movember within the StudentsÔÇÖ Union, has said whichever Cardiff student grows the most impressive moustache will receive a prize from the Union.
Aaron said: ÔÇ£A lot of people think that Movember is just about the moustaches but it’s a really important cause and we can all help raise money.ÔÇØ
Not only are Cardiff students getting involved, but also Cardiff StudentsÔÇÖ Union male full time Elected Officers. Representing the Union, the Elected Officers are eager to raise awareness and get as many people involved in Movember as possible.
Harry Newman, Cardiff StudentsÔÇÖ Union President, has said: ÔÇ£As great as it would be to raise some money for the cause, the main thing is to increase awareness of prostate and testicular cancer.ÔÇØ
This week, The Lash in Solus is taking on a ÔÇÿLashes and TashesÔÇÖ theme to support Movember. Giveaways on the night will include fake moustaches and The Titans will be face painting.
Last year, the Movember campaign rose an incredible £79.3 million, with 854,288 global registered fundraisers.
