When Travis Garone and Luke Slattery met up in a bar in Melbourne for a quiet beer back in 2003 and came up with the idea for Movember, they could not have imagined what it would become and the number of lives it would positively impact around the world.

At the time, the moustache, which had been a fixture in past decades, was nowhere to be seen and they joked about bringing it back. The two friends decided to talk their mates into growing a “Mo”. Inspired by a friend who was fundraising for breast cancer, they decided funds raised would go towards prostate cancer. They designed the rules of Movember and agreed to charge AU$10 (£5.60) to grow a Mo.
