You may have heard about 'Movember', a charity raising money for the men's health issues of depression and cancer.

The Channel 9 morning crew is heavily into promoting it.

During the month of November, men everywhere are growing a moustache and raising funds towards this worthy cause.

Not to be outdone the virile gentlemen of the School of Health and Human Performance are in the middle of growing some amazing moustaches for a worthy cause.

Were you aware that every year in Australia, 2700 men die of prostate cancer; that's greater than the number of women who die from breast cancer? Depression is affecting 1 in 6 men, and most aren’t seeking help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. These figures obtained from the 'Movember' website are staggering and warrant further research.

Your help in fighting these horrible scourges of society is needed.
