How a 2003 bar dare became a global health movement
In short: Discover the origins of Movember, a worldwide initiative that uses facial hair to drive awareness for men's health and fund critical medical research.
Adam Garone, a co-founder of Movember, shares how the movement began as a simple dare in a bar back in 2003. What started as a small challenge has evolved into a massive global effort, encouraging men to grow moustaches every November to highlight men's health issues. The scale of the movement's impact is significant, having raised $126 million for prostate cancer research last year.
