Movember at Vantage West

Great news. The guys at Vantage West are willing to look a little more ridiculous than usual for a good cause. They’re taking part in Movember, (as in “Mustache November”) a fundraiser for prostate cancer awareness.

Vantage West Co-founders AJ Hazzi and Joel Sherlock will be among the men proudly sporting shag carpeting on their upper lips while keeping the beards tidy. Given that I’ve never seen an Egyptian moustache, I’m excited to see where AJ’s takes us. Joel on the other hand, looks like he could be sporting a Tom Selleck-thick cookie-duster by breakfast tomorrow.


The team is hoping to raise $10,000 for a cause best described by the Movember.com website:
“The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for prostate cancer. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.”

And grow they shall.

Periodic updates will post on the Vantage West Facebook and Twitter accounts so we can all chart the awkward progress as it happens.

It’s a light-hearted way to address a serious problem, and they would appreciate any and all support from those who believe that the power of the moustache can help fight back against prostate cancer.

You can make your donations at: at this Mospace Page using a credit card or Paypal account in approximately the time it takes to wax a quality curly-tipped mousty. So...

Thank you for your support!
