Changing the Face of Men's Health

Movember is an annual, month-long celebration of the moustache, highlighting men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer.

Mo Bros, supported by their Mo Sistas, start Movember (November 1st) clean shaven and then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache. During Movember, each Mo Bro effectively becomes a walking billboard for men’s health and, via their Mo, raises essential funds and awareness for Movember’s men’s health partner – The Prostate Cancer Charity.

To date, Movember has raised over £30 million globally for the fight against prostate cancer and depression in men. And, more importantly, as a direct result, male awareness of health issues has improved with Movember helping to spread health messages directly to millions of Mo Bros & Sistas around the world.

Going forward, Movember will continue to work towards helping to change established habits and attitudes and make men aware of the risks they face, thereby increasing early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.

To donate to this worthy cause (and to see members of ICM with once-in-a-lifetime moustaches) please visit the official donation page for our Movember Team: Moustaches Beyond Design HERE...

Funny for money.....

What with today being Red Nose Day we could not sit back and not do anything to help out this good cause. We have all come in non-uniform, wearing at least one item of red, we have been been buying and eating lots of nice cakes, biscuits and sweets (any excuse for naughty food in the office!). Thoughout the day we have been telling jokes and tweeting them too (see @richardpeacock) and playing jargon bingo (Richard being the first to a full house). Personally I think the bingo was funniest as everyone was trying really hard not to say certain words and catchphrases!
We all did our something funny for money!!

Comic Relief takes on Cadbury’s

Yesterday, towards the end of the day while on Twitter I read a tweet from @rednoseday2009 saying I should brighten up my day and watch two Red Nose Day Adverts that had been made for this year. My day did not need brightening up as it was going well already but I took their advice and clicked on the link to watch the two adverts. What I then watched made me laugh out loud!

There is another advert which has been made featuring familiar characters from adverts including Monkey from the PJ Tips, the Honey Monster and the Churchill dog. Not as funny as the first video but still good.
