Know more about Mo
With the onset of November month, it's that time of the year when the entire nation supports Movember. And it's also that time again when the month of Movember comes along with November like hand in glove. What started as a small concept by a group of 80 men in Adelaide, nearly two decades ago, soon caught the fancy of the entire nation and later the entire world. Movember is not just about letting your hair follicles grow wild, it' also about creativity and solidarity – all for a good cause. This event has gained popularity in countries like Australia, North America, Europe and South Africa.

Each year during Movember blokes across the globe experiment with their moustaches and style it, get creative and spoil it to sport some of their most quirky looks in a year. But don't lose heart if you are not fond of growing a mo as there are several other ways to show your camaraderie towards your fellow brothers and raise funds to create awareness of prostate and testicular cancer and mental health.

For the sprouting of millions of moustaches around the world, here's a list of ways by which you can support Movember in full spirit:

Go for movies

Rocket Rooftop (Adelaide), Rancho Notorious (Melbourne), Limes Hotel (Brisbane), Soda Factory (NSW) and The Aviary (Perth) are screening epics like Pulp Fiction, Chopper, The Castle and Top Gun to entertain you and create a Mo bond between brothers.

Go for run
