Always looking out for a good cause to support Thompsons jumped at the opportunity to raise awareness about men’s health issues by becoming involved in Movember 2008 and eagerly participated in another successful Movember 2009.
The Movember Foundation is a national, not for profit, charitable organisation that runs the Movember event in November each year. It raises funds for carefully selected beneficiary partners that are also charitable organisations, with a focus on prostate cancer and depression in men. Since its inception in 2004 Movember has raised over $30 million globally.
Movember basically involves participants starting November 1st clean shaven and then growing a mo and keeping it until the end of the month and registering themselves and their team on the Movember Website au.movember.com. Colleague’s friends and family can then make donations on line to support their mo bro’s and mo sista’s.
With the success of Movember 2009 we look forward to participating in Movember 2010. While also supporting a great cause it was also a lot of fun and a great team building exercise with all participants raising a few eyebrows during their hairy appearance on work sites throughout the South West.
