'Movember' challenge
Date published: 19 November 2012
Three of Pennine Juniors Football managers, Lee Atkins, Mark Diggle and Keith Ellis, who already give up their time voluntarily to train youngsters, are now taking part in the 'Movember' Challenge.
During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men's faces in the UK and around the world.
The aim of which is to raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer.
Each Mo Bro must begin the 1 Movember with a clean shaven face. For the entire month each Mo Bro must grow and groom a moustache.
Players, parents, friends and family can get involved and keep track of their progress on our website (www.penninejuniors.co.uk) and the players can also take part. A printable 'moustache' sheet is available so young players can print them off and send in photos of themselves to be featured on the website.
People can get involved by visiting the club website or clicking visiting on http://uk.movember.com/team/857773
This challenge is raising funds for a much needed cause and, as managers are often role models for our younger generation, ensuring the up and coming generation are aware of men's health.
