Monday 30 November

We’ve reached the end of the 11th month. This month has had some moments: a second lockdown for the UK, Ridin’ with Biden pulled off an historic win back across the pond, and I came to a startling realisation that my armpit hair has a complete mind of its own. In years past I have had inter-team competitions to see who go grow their leg hair the longest during this month (basketball season was a whale of a time.) This year, since I didn’t have to raise my arms in defence on the basketball court, I decided on both leg and armpit hair for No Shave November. But these actions are just to bring attention to Movember- to support men’s health. If you can still donate, please go to https://uk.movember.com, or your country’s website.

So with Movember as the awareness month for prostate and testicular cancer (the blue and purple ribbons), this is the facial hair-stravaganza cup.
