Another Movember has come and gone, and our Movember team has raised far more than our goal! I wanted to extend huge thanks to all of our supporters – we couldn’t have done this without you. The funds raised for Movember go towards a number of great causes, including prostate and testicular cancer research and awareness, and also to men’s mental health initiatives.
Thanks, too, to the Movember foundation for running a tight ship (and for the neat harmonica)! See you next year!
It’s not too late to donate. For you last-minute folks: here you go.
