In the coming weeks you can expect to see a lot more men sporting moustaches, and no, we haven't had an early tip-off that David Beckham is growing one. November is being re-branded Movember, to celebrate the charity event tackling the top two male cancers – prostate and testicular.
So where does the moustache bit creep in? Well, the charity asks men to register online and then grow a moustache throughout November to raise money via sponsorship. Aside from the chance to set up a facial hair circle to express your inner Tom Selleck or Charlie Chaplin, you'll get to say "moustachery" while hopefully getting people talking about your 'tache, which in turn raises awareness for the charity.
So far, Movember has raised £106m globally and has a movement of 1.1m men, or "Mo Bros", as they're officially known. Previously, Guardian readers have done the Mo Bros proud and we're hoping some of you are game this year. If you're taking part in Movember we want to hear from you.
