Movember LIVE

Movember is the annual, world-wide charity movement dedicated to changing the face of men's health - all through the power of the moustache!
Come and watch the show as The PIT defeats cancer live on stage!
Movember's primary campaign objective is to raise awareness around men's health issues, specifically cancers affecting men. We want everyone to know that most cancers are highly curable if caught in the early stages- including prostate and testicular cancer. Movember aims to increase early detection,… Show more diagnosis and effective treatment, as this will ultimately reduce the number of deaths from cancer.
