Movember- Sponsor RPM!!

The 'real men' of RPM are currently growing moustaches as part of the annual Movember charity fundraiser. We have 24 (and counting) competitors with a selection of styles being developed. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and one man dies every hour from the disease in the UK. This is a cause that we feel passionately about and would be extremely grateful if you could make a donation of any size through our sponsorship site at http://uk.movember.com/mospace/577504.

The Prostate Cancer Charity will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programmes related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer. For more details on the impact Movember is having, please visit http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.

Thank you in advance for helping us to support men's health, and please see above for week one of the tache-growing!

The Shave-Off Begins

Alex has always sported a long beard, so deciding to raise extra money for Movember, we all sponsored him to shave it off. Here are the results...start from bottom up.

Movember - RPM's Big Shave-Off is Here

All of RPM's bold, brave, bearded men, including the entire board, have decided to embrace Movember by having an official shave-off at the RPM offices this morning in preparation for a month-long moustache-growing.

Movember is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men's health issues, in particular prostate and testicular cancer, and began in Melbourne, Australia in 2003. The trend came to the UK officially in 2006, and last year saw its challenge to bring back the moustache raise more than 25 million globally.

So, which style will you choose? Check out the website for more details.
