12 Days and counting until

Movember and Move begin!

What’s Movember? Movember is a movement where during the month of November, men around the world become more incredibly good looking by the day by growing mustaches to help raise money and awareness for men’s health issues.

What’s Move? For those that can’t grow a mustache (and those that can), everyone can help to raise awareness and money for male health issues by pledging to exercise EVERY SINGLE DAY during the month of November.  You can help raise money and awareness AND feel great!

If you would like to sign up, donate to, or find out more information about Movember and/or Move (and Team Nanjing), please talk to Mr. Fischl, Mr. Buhler, or visit http://moteam.co/team-nanjing
