I should have had more stones this Movember and become a real "Mo Bro" like my Austin pals, Wesley Faulkner, Kyle Flaherty, and Aaron Strout.

As you can see in the photo below, my pencil-neck mustache after a week's worth of growth is pretty pathetic. But isn't that part of the fun? After all, swapping photos of ugly 'staches (or "mos," in Australian parlance) is one of THE ways that Movember draws attention to its campaign to raise awareness and money for "cancers that effect men."

With a mere six day remaining this Movember to give, the SocMed Austin team that I'm supporting needs a big push to overtake the Boston squad (as a former Bostonian, I'd love nothing better than to knock those guys off in a photo finish).

Here's where you can make your donation and support this very worth cause.

And for a marketing take on why the Movember campaign is so successful, check out my post over on Media Bullseye today: How to use social media to galvanize online giving.
