Sydney: Every year, around the world, No-Shave November is observed. It is an awareness-raising campaign that promotes that one should embrace their hair, which many cancer patients lose. Throughout the month, men allow their hair to grow wild and free, and they don’t cut them. People usually donate the money they typically spend on shaving, grooming, and maintenance of their hair and beard.
The fund collected under the initiative is used to educate people about cancer prevention, saving lives, and aiding those fighting the battle. The month-long campaign aims to evoke conversation and raise awareness about cancer.
No-Shave November encourages participants to donate the money they’d normally spend on grooming supplies, such as razor blades and shaving cream, to one of the organization’s funded programs.
Movember combines the words “moustache” — spelled that way because a group of Australians started the whole thing — and “November.” What started as a fun experiment turned into a full-fledged charitable organization that supports various men’s health initiatives, including prostate cancer, testicular cancer and colon cancer research, mental health and suicide prevention, parenting and general health.
