Leeds Rugby Foundation are supporting Leeds Carnegie players in their Movember challenge by growing moustaches during the month to help raise funds for men’s health charities.
The Rugby Players Association (RPA) are championing the return of the moustache as partners of 'Movember', the charity initiative that aims to change the face of men's health.
Leeds Rugby Foundation realise how important these campaigns are to charities and feel it is only right to give something back to a worthy cause.
The phenomenon that is Movember involves men, or 'Mo Bros', with support from 'Mo Sistas', growing a 'Mo' (Australian slang for a moustache) throughout the month formerly known as November, to raise money for The Prostate Cancer Charity. As partners of Movember, the RPA Benevolent Fund will also receive 20% of all rugby related donations made to the TPCC for Movember throughout the month.
Leeds Rugby Foundation’s Leon Crick commented: "We are keen to show our support to create awareness around prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s health.
“Although it was Jonny’s idea, he is struggling to keep up with the rest of the Foundation team!”
