November is around the corner, but have you heard about Movember ? Movember —the "mo” stands for moustache—is an international month-long event aimed at increasing awareness of the cancers that men face. The event encourages men to see and talk with their doctors for heath maintenance and cancer screening. Men who participate start Movember 1 with a clean-shaven face. For the rest of the month, these men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their lives, Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts. Jonathan Wright, UW assistant professor of urology and affiliate investigator at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, is leading the charge for Movember at UW Medical Center. He said that he wants to not only raise awareness about male cancers, but also wants to help raise the profile of UW urologic oncology.
