The lads grow a 'tache for cash

A GROUP of lads are ditching their razors for a month as they grow a 'tache for cash.

The 12 work colleagues from Slough and Maidenhead will join thousands of men across the world as they grow their whiskers and take part in the annual Movember challenge to raise funds for The Prostate Cancer Charity.

Sunny Samrai, from Slough, said: "Movember is about having fun, growing a moustache throughout November and raising much needed funds and awareness for men's health - specifically prostate cancer.

"What many people don't appreciate is that one man dies every hour of prostate cancer in the UK, more than 35,000 men will be diagnosed this year and that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK."

The team or 'Mo Bros' work together at Callcredit Marketing Solutions and are hoping to raise more than £500 for the charity.

William Ballantyne, from Maidenhead, said: "I decided to take part in the Movember challenge because it supports a good cause whilst adding a fun twist.

"For me it will be fun because my parents live in Dubai, but are returning on November 13, I can't wait to see their reaction to my 'tache!"
