Hello Beloved LIVESTRONG.COM Members,

Movember is the month formerly known as November where men grow a moustache for 30 days to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure for prostate and testicular cancer.

The money raised by Movember in the U.S. is split between the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

What we are asking you to do, is to take the Dare to Movember, and join our team, "The LIVESTRONG.COM Mustachionados."

You don't have to have a Y chromosome to participate, "Mo Sisters," as us ladies are called, are encouraged to the join the team and help with fundraising and recruiting as well.

Any help and support is greatly appreciated! We need more than just your donations--join our group (it's free to join The LIVESTRONG.COM Mustachionados) tweet about our efforts, share with your friends on facebook--help us build our group and aggregate donations for this amazing cause. Any moustache helps!

If you have been affected by cancer, or want to live in a world where your friends, family and children won't have to be affected by these terrible diseases, then show your support by joining our team.




Sincerely,

I have the majority of the males in our middle school building participating (including our principal). It is going to be fun for a great cause. We will be taking before and after pictures and posting them on our school district website.

I see a few moustaches up there but where is the trailer park patch one at? When I try to grow any sort of facial hair it grows out all wirey and trailer parkish.
