Movember Week 1: Ginger ‘Stache Formation

Alright guys, we’re doing Movember. And by ‘we’ I mean ‘me’ and an assorted motley crew of Kotaku readers who have joined Team Kotaku to help raise money for men’s health and awareness surrounding prostate cancer and male depression. Things are going averagely so far, so I’m going to have to crank things up a notch.

First off, this is what I look like now, with one week’s growth. I know. Pathetic!

A couple of things — gingerness doth not a good moustache make and, secondly, Tracey just informed me that I’m not allowed to have regular growth and then shave it into a mo later. I did not know this. I guess I’ll have to shave later tonight… [shudder]

We have a healthy amount of people involved, helping us raise money for Team Kotaku, but I’d like to see more people getting involved — either by donating here, or joining our awesome squad!

Come on guys — we need to get this thing moving. I’m growing a ginger moustache but, get this, Tracey Lien is actually making a jolly good attempt to grow an actual prostate during Movember, and from what I hear she’s making good progress.

I haven’t received any Mo pics from the rest of Team Kotaku, but please drop them in the comments below and I’ll add them to this post, or email me here.

I’d also like to give a big shout out to Activision Australia, who have been instrumental in motivating us to get involved in the great cause, by offering up an extra $1000 in sponsorship to the team who raises the most cash. Activision has been acting as an official sponsor for the whole event and has done a great job of raising awareness locally. Great job folks!
