Mr Movember makes an appearance at Absolute Dental

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in the UK and around the world. The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Rhod has joined the campaign this year and has become, what is referred to as a “Mo Bro”.


Once registered at movember.com each Mo Bro must begin the 1st of Movember with a clean shaven face. For the entire month each Mo Bro must grow and groom a moustache. It’s quite strictt: there is to be no joining of the mo to the sideburns (that’s considered a beard); and there’s to be no joining of the handlebars to the chin (that’s considered a goatee) and each Mo Bro must conduct himself like a true gentleman.

Rhod has effectively become a walking, talking billboard for the 30 days of November and through his actions is raising awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.
