Movember Founder Adam Garone at TEDx 2011

November 18 2012, 5:41pm

Adam Garone gives a talk on how the charity Movember, in support of raising awareness and donations for research to fight prostate cancer, came to be.

Adam Garone has an impressive moustache, and it's for a good cause. A co-founder of Movember, Garone's initiative to raise awareness for men's health -- by having men grow out their moustaches every November -- began as a dare in a bar in 2003. Now, it's a worldwide movement that raised $126 million for prostate cancer research last year.
