A man’s mustache can have all types of meaning. It could be a way of standing out from the crowd, a furry fashion statement, or a form of masculine expression. But in November, the mustache takes on a deeper meaning.

The Movember movement calls on men from around the globe to grow mustaches in an effort to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues. Men start the month off with a clean mug, and as their mustache grows they ask friends and family to donate to their efforts.

Power Your Practice elected to take part in the campaign, and we have the mustaches to prove it. If you’d like to donate toward our campaign and help put an end to men’s health issues, please visit our team Movember page.

Now on to this week’s articles.
