Cambs Badminton Men Support Movember

In a shock move, a team of men from Cambridgeshire Badminton have agreed to put their upper lips on the line to raise awareness and funds for mens cancer issues, by growing moustaches in the month of November!

​

You can follow our progress by 'friending' the Cambs Badminton Facebook page.

To find out more about the team who are daring to flirt with such 1970's-style lip adornment, you can also check out their Mo-site website.

Finally, please don't forget to donate a little something to support prostate and other mens cancer research, and encourage the boys to stick out a month of looking like porn-film rejects... You can quickly and easily donate online!
