Movember: Beginnings over Beer

So it’s November or, for many, Movember.

Did you know that Movember is the largest effort to save and improve the lives of men affected by prostate and testicular cancer? That last year they raised $22.9 million in the U.S.? That to date, this mustache-obsessed organization has raised $559 in 21 countries? That its beginnings trace back to a beer-infused conversation about 1970s style and a dare in an Australian bar?

Watch this TED talk by Adam Garone to learn how the the Movember movement was inspired “with a really creative idea, with passion, with persistence, and a lot of patience, four mates, four mustaches.”
