Men growing moustaches become walking, talking billboards for men’s health. The best part about Movember is that before a dollar is raised…1000’s of men across Canada and the world are growing moustaches and starting conversations that are changing people’s lives. This is called the “power of the moustache. - via the Movember Foundation

 

We want to encourage both the men and women of Kitchener Waterloo to get involved with Movember KW this year.
