Earlier this today, a bit of character ended the College Classic Season with funny moustache painted faces all in support of a cause. In the BVI, some know that the month of November has been renamed Movember in support of the BVI Movember Charitable Trust’s efforts to fight prostate and testicular cancers in the territory. On the tail end of supporting women’s health in the fight against breast cancer during the month of October, HLSCC decided to dub it’s final race in support of men’s health to help spread awareness of the Movember initiatives.
Movember being an international charity, uses men’s facial hair growth as a means to raise conversations, awareness and funds for men’s health issues. The month long event starts with clean-shaven men growing moustaches, conversing about the cause and raising sponsorship money throughout the month to help fund treatment for diagnosed individuals.
