It was a mega month with some serious moustache action. And as I sit twizzling the end of mine - it has become a bit of habit - I can't help feeling proud of what we have achieved.
To sum up the results of the city's campaign, who better to chat to than Greg Rafferty, head of Movember Asia?
Growing a moustache is a big deal for guys in Hong Kong, so when I asked Greg about the registration figures he was understandably thrilled. With almost 2,000 signing up and raising awareness across the territory, we finished the month in 11th place on the global leader board with HK$3.6 million raised - a great achievement in our maiden year.
Throughout Movember, the campaign picked up impressive momentum with activities taking place across the city.
From the Mustachio Megashow festival and Movember-themed pub quizzes, to a Mo Against the Machine dodgeball event, the commitment to raising awareness and vital funds has been outstanding.
Hitting the HK$3 million mark before the campaign even ended was something Greg never anticipated. The great news is that this year all funds raised in Hong Kong will benefit local prostate cancer initiatives and support research into a cure for the disease.
