So you’ve joined the world’s biggest movement for men’s health. You’re at the starting line, ready to kick ass, take names and raise cash this Movember. Now what? Here are 3 things you should do before Movember 1st.
1. Get your Mo Space lookin’ good
Take a minute to deck out your fundraising page with a photo or two, add your motivation and set a fundraising target for the month. A completed Mo Space is like a well-groomed Mo: it makes everything better.
2. Know what you’re going to do
No matter how you’re doing Movember, get yourself going on the right foot.
Growing a Mo? Grow it right.
There are only a few rules in Movember, but they’re vital.
Rule 1: Start clean-shaven on Movember 1st.
Rule 2: No beards, no goatees. We're all about the Mo.
For the rest, check out The Rules.
Set your sights on a Mo style. Are you confident you can outdo Selleck himself? Or shooting for a modest Wisp?
Your moustache is your hairy billboard for the month of Movember, so get a little creative. Sacrifice a beard, dye your Mo, auction it off to the highest donor: the more eyes on your Mo, the better. Get inspired with all the ways to take your moustache to the next level.
