Yovember - Movember: YYBC Community Challenge for Men's Health!

Get Ready to Mo and Throw this Yovember!

The YoYo Boomers Club heard about something called Movember and we got really excited, thinking it was an opportunity to talk about our lawns. We quickly realized it was something different, but we’re still participating, and there’s a twist! Join us for Yovember - Movember, where we come together to raise awareness for men’s physical and mental health while having an absolute blast.

20 YEARS OF CHANGING THE FACE OF MEN’S HEALTH!
Check out this inspiring video to kick things off: 20 Years of Movember

So, will you step up and take the challenge this Yovember?

It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure book (will you participate? Turn to page 31. Tapping out? Go to page 17… “wrong choice, turn back and try again”).

The most important part is to have FUN while supporting men’s health! Let’s make this another legendary event filled with great memories, awesome challenges, and maybe even a few mustache-growing champions!

We hope this event really grows on you, and if you’re looking for some sweet merch, we’ll shave you some time. Our friends at Throw-Yo are a cut above the rest! Yovember Merch!

Join the fun, throw with your Mo, and let’s make a difference together!

Even Elsa is participating! “Let it growww, let it growwwww… can’t shave off this awesome Mo!”

I have a three year old, don’t judge me.

I’m excited to take part in this choose your own adventure style challenge while supporting the community as well as the Movember foundation.
All for our efforts of bringing awareness to men’s health, both physical and mental. I may not be the poster child for either, but I can at least participate for a good cause.

My challenges for the month are taking the path of Option 2

  1. Donate to the cause: Movember - Home
  2. In order to mimic the natural growth of the lip caterpillars, I propose a Grower/Shower YoYo Challenge! Starting with a shorter string, I will increase the length by 1-foot every week and show results
  3. Light a yoyo on fire (still don’t recommend doing this) - :white_check_mark:
  4. Start the beard from scratch, grow it out unencumbered. Bonus: End the month with a killer mo for a grand finale.

Good luck to all, I look forward to seeing some of the other shenanigans we all will get up to, and let the festivities begin!

Side Note: YouTube doesn’t like yoyo’s on fire apparently, so you might have to sign in to see it, lol.

On top of the no shaving, I figured I’ll try at least an hour of cycling every day. Heck, I’ll throw one more in and limit myself to one yoyo.
