A mustache was the point of departure of a story that became a global movement, which works for men’s health and prevention of the illness that has afflicted them. Regarding November, Mundo Unico joins “Movember”, a worldwide movement focused on raising consciousness about men’s health issues such as: prostate cancer, testicular cancer or mental illnesses. HOW EVERYTHING STARTED In 2003, Travis Garone and Adam Garone, two brothers that used to meet in a bar to drink some beers in Melbourne, Australia. They were talking about the mustache style and how men didn’t wear it anymore. Halfway through the conversation, they agreed on letting their mustache grow during that month: November. However, they decided to take this peculiar challenge one step further and frame it in a humanitarian cause to support men, especially those who suffered prostate or testicular cancer. To do so, they sent an email inviting men to join their cause. At first, thirty men answered and from that moment on, a movement came to life. It has raised around €500 million and it has supported more than 1000 men’s illnesses research programs. A movement they called: Movember. From Moustache and November.
