And that is an amazing achievement when you think about us growing mustaches.

I'd argue that World War I helped make possible everything from The Simpsons to intentionally unattractive mustaches.

It's really interesting when you try and figure a way to fund a fundraising organization built off growing mustaches.

Captain Trav explains you need to wear a mustache, because Iraqis have a really hard time trusting people without mustaches, so grow one.

So if Movember 2006 didn't happen, the four founders, well, we would've been broke, we would've been homeless, sitting on the street with mustaches.

And we sat down, and I shared with him my vision of getting men growing mustaches across Australia, raising awareness for this cause, and funds for his organization.

And we persisted, and we got 450 guys growing mustaches, and together we raised 54,000 dollars, and we donated every cent of that to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, and that represented at the time the single biggest donation they'd ever received.

So, what I know about my Movember journey is that, with a really creative idea, with passion, with persistence, and a lot of patience, four mates, four mustaches, can inspire a room full of people, and that room full of people can go on and inspire a city, and that city is Melbourne, my home.

I don't want to tell you about it now, but will you meet with me if I fly all the way to Toronto? So I flew here, met down on Front Street East, and we sat in the boardroom, and I said, Right, here's my vision of getting men growing mustaches all across Canada raising awareness and funds for your organization.
