More than a sporting chance

Rugby star Johne Murphy asked his teammates to raise money for Movember after his father was diagnosed with a tumour in his prostate.

SINCE it began in Melbourne in 2004, Movember has challenged men to grow a moustache, or a ‘mo’, for November to raise awareness of cancers prevalent in men.

In eight years, the campaign has raised €134m for cancer research and related charities.
