Last month, Stiltz took part in the Movember Mo-vement. We are all about supporting good causes and Movember covers a big one, men’s health. On average, men will die 4 years earlier than women and the reasons for this are largely preventable.

The big 4:

These are the key issues Movember aims to address. So far, over 1,320 men’s health projects have been funded globally by the charity. From helping with treatment and research to spreading awareness and creating support groups, there are many ways the money raised by taking part in activities can be used.

Speaking of activities… the challenges:

Grow a Mo

Real Mos

The main challenge, and where the campaign famously gets its name from, was to grow a moustache within the four weeks of November. This is also a physical symbol for the good Movember does as we literally change the face of men’s health. Nothing before counted, so all participants had to be clean-shaven before day one. Taking part for Stiltz were Peter Davies, Matt Lucas, Darren Meeson, Darryl Cope, Gino Farruggio and Dan Fenby.

At the end of the month we asked everyone to vote for their favourite, and a clear winner was announced … Gino Farruggio (pictured left) with his charming chevron moustache!

Fake Mos 

There was also a separate competition just for Directors. While they may not have grown their own mos, the marketing team had plenty of fun with Photoshop imagining what they could look like. Admittedly, the results were a little over the top, but it was all in the spirit of the challenge and certainly got some heads turning.

It was Mo-Founder of Stiltz, Lachlan Faulkner (pictured right), who was crowned with the trendiest ‘tache. With that walrus-style moustache, it couldn’t have gone any other way.
