Miller Shaves to Kick Off 'Movember'

miller_shaveOn Friday morning, in the House of Commons foyer, Larry Miller and Justin Trudeau kicked-off Movember in style. Larry Miller had his signature moustache shaved off by Justin Trudeau to begin the month long campaign to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer.

Styled “Movember” in honour of the moustaches men grow, the 30 day campaign challenges men to change their appearance to raise awareness for men’s health.

Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the commitment to grow a moustache for 30 days acts as their ribbon, and the means by which they raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer research.

At the event, Miller said “We’re not always open about men’s health, so this campaign is a great way to get people talking. If we can raise money for prostate cancer research at the same time, then all the better.” Laughing, Miller said “I wouldn’t trust a Liberal with a razor to my throat if it wasn’t for such a good cause.”

The idea for Movember has its roots in Melbourne, Australia, where a few men decided to bring the moustache back in order to raise awareness of men’s health. While no money was raised in the inaugural Movember of 2003, the organizers quickly realized the potential the moustache had to create a discussion around men’s health. Thus, a global health movement was born.

Since 2003, the Movember moustache has grown year after year, expanding to Canada, the US, UK, New Zealand, Ireland, Spain, South Africa, the Netherlands and Finland. In 2009, the Canadian Movember campaign was the second largest in the world, raising a total of $7.8 million for Prostate Cancer Canada.
