Movember

Join us Thursday November 17th!!

for a "stash selfie". Dr. Gray will donate $5 for every person that comes by for a photo. Help us raise funds and awareness for this worthy cause!!!


In Movember, also known as Mustache November, men everywhere in the world are growing out their mustaches in order to bring awareness to prostate and testicular cancer.  The organization’s hope is that people will donate the money normally spent on waxing and shaving to the Cancer Society. Here are some interesting facts:

1. Albert Einstein sported his mustache for over 50 years.
2. In a deck of cards the King of Hearts is the only king without a mustache
3.  The oldest recorded mustache dates back to at around 300 B.C

4. On average a man with a mustache touches it 760 times a day.
5. US marines are not permitted to grow mustaches longer than half an inch.
6.  A man spends an average of five months of his life shaving if he starts at the age of 14 — assuming that he lives until he’s 75 years old.
7. Not only are men seen as more attractive with it, but facial hair might also help protect against skin cancer. This past year, a study conducted at the University of Southern Queensland in Australia found that facial hair can prevent skin cancer against 90 to 95 percent of harmful UV rays.
8. Since it first launched 13 years ago, the Movember campaign has raised over $800 million.
9. When twisted at the ends, mustache wearers have been known to exhibit fits of evil genius
