Like a half-mast flag flown for those lost, a half-mast Mo pays tribute to the 587 Canadian men who should have been by our side this Movember

TORONTO, Nov. 29, 2018 /CNW/ - As Mo Bros across Canada prepare to farewell their moustaches on November 30, the Movember Foundation is urging them to shave-down to a 'Half-Mast Mo' in one final fundraising act for men's health. Like a half-mast flag flown for those lost, a half-mast Mo pays tribute to the 587 Canadian men who should have been by our side this Movember, but instead died from a preventable cause. The call to don the lopsided look will close out a month that has seen 55,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas register with Movember to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
