set up a web site to help raise
money through the global
charity "Movember."
From the web site: the charity encourages men to join the
movement by growing a moustache for the 30 days of November. These generous Mo Bros
start the month clean-shaven,
then grow and groom their
Mo (slang for moustache),
asking friends and family to
donate to their efforts. With
their new moustaches, these
Mo Bros bring much needed
awareness to men's health
issues by prompting conversations wherever they go."
