Today marks the start of Movember (formerly known as November), the month where men are encouraged to grow moustaches to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. 

Here at Gowalla, we’ve put together a dedicated Movember team to help drive awareness. Several of us in the office have been affected by cancer in some way or another this year, and we’re eager to help however we can. 

It remains to be seen whether our Mo-Walla men will grow a super mario ‘stache, a zappa, or just a good ol’ fashioned handlebar; frankly, we’ll be happy if some of the guys can even grow any facial hair. Luckily, they have a Mo-mentor in Jonathan who spends countless hours manicuring his own glorious beard (see proof below) which will be shaved off today. 

Anyone else joining in? Whether you start your own Movember team, donate to the cause, or even just get regular checkups, please consider supporting Movember. We’d love to hear from you if you are. Here are some of the guys from the Mo-Walla team.
