VOICED: Men grow mustaches for good cause

Movember is an annual event to raise awareness for men's health issues, particularly prostate cancer. Participants, known as Moe Bros, grow mustaches throughout November, starting clean-shaven and seeking sponsorships for their facial hair. The event has a significant impact, with nearly a quarter million participants in Canada alone, raising millions for cancer research. Movember also fosters community involvement through various events and parties. The initiative has successfully increased awareness and encouraged more men to get tested for cancer. Movember continues to grow globally, with plans to return each year.
