Movember at Telecom (30th November 2007)

What is Movember New Zealand? Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a charity event held during November each year in NZ. Most companies or individuals will organise a Movember and the guys start Movember with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raise as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible, mainly prostate cancer. It fantastic to see the men here actively participate and groom their mo (short for moustache) in all sorts of shapes (I'm sure they have fun doing so). The ladies support our brave men by putting up with a month of mo burns :)

Today is the last day of Movember and the boys in my unit who took part are shaving off their mos. Here's a photo of them before the big shave:
