The Movember mission is pretty straightforward: Men shave their facial hair at the start of November, and throughout the month, trim and tailor their own unique mustache as an effort to bring awareness to men’s health, including prostate and testicular cancer.
The Movember Foundation launched 11 years ago in Australia and holds its global campaign annually to challenge men (Mo Bros) to join in the fun and become a “walking, talking billboard” for men’s health. So far, $559 million for the effort is not too shabby. Women can also contribute by helping to raise money with campaigns focused on the issues.
With the Rise of AI, What IP Disputes in Healthcare Are Likely to Emerge?
Munck Wilson Mandala Partner Greg Howison shared his perspective on some of the legal ramifications around AI, IP, connected devices and the data they generate, in response to emailed questions.
In a fun Q&A,Chris Jacobs, co-host of Overhaulin’ on Discovery Channel and first year Mo Bro, shares his men’s health and style tips.
The organization encourages making this a community-focused effort, including ways to incorporate social media and not just grow a Mo alone. Compared to the massive overtake of Facebook with the ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge,” and some of the resulting criticism considering conservation and water waste, growing and grooming a mustache seems like a very sustainable way to make a statement for a cause and give back.
