Since you last saw these Mo’s, they’ve taken their owners on a victory lap around this month dedicated to the awareness of men’s health. In the last week, it seems these Mo’s and the Bros hosting them have an increased understanding of the issues surrounding men’s health, and how each of us can help take control of them. Read as the eight TOMS Mo Bros recap a Mo-raculous month… 

David’s Mo takes the stage
Does “Fever Dog” have anybody special to thank? (Think: Oscar’s speech gone weird.): “He’d like to thank Billy Crudup for the inspiration. And…my brother Isaac for the healthy donation to my Mo space.”

Spotlight on: Pete’s Mo
Mo-table highlights? “Using shampoo to wash out last night’s dinner.”
Any words of wisdom for a lady on the fence about supporting her Mo Bro in growing facial hair next Movember? “By the end of the month, you will be impressed by how manly he looks. At least you will see that he can commit to something!”

Encore, Keith’s Mo! Encore! 
Mo-table highlights? “Talking to so many people about growing a Mo for the month, and then having everyone remind me that I don’t have one. But really: becoming more aware of why being proactive about health is so important.”

And the crowd goes wild for Jonathan’s Mo
Mo-table highlights? “A lot of the response has been in this last week, ranging from ‘You look distinguished,’ to ‘That’s it?’ A few people commented that I look older than 12 now!”
Does “Slow-Mo” have anybody special to thank? (Think: Oscar’s speech gone weird.): “Slow-Mo wishes to thank all the early-bloomers out there who said I couldn’t do it. The negativity got this guy growing in his victory lap.”

The Academy throws its support to KC’s Mo 
Mo-table highlights? “Thrice I was confused for my father during the Thanksgiving holiday.”
Words of wisdom for a guy on the fence about growing a Mo next year? “You would be amazed at how classy people always think you are. I recently wore a tank top to a wedding and because of the moustache, the father of the bride asked why it couldn’t be me marrying his daughter.”

Nick’s Mo is an instant classic
Mo-table highlights? “I was given the ‘respect’ nod by a tough guy!”
Words of wisdom for a guy on the fence about growing a Mo next year? “Do it for the awareness. Just because you do something different with your facial hair, somebody might do something different with his life.”

Lee! Can we have your Mo’s autograph? 
Mo-table highlights? “One thing I’ve learned is that good things come to those who wait. Pammy may have had a slow start but, boy, is she turning heads now! I was told I looked Swedish last night, which I will be taking as a compliment.”

What would you say to a girl questioning Mo Sista status for Movember 2013? “How could you possibly be on the fence?? Do you know who Burt Reynolds is??”
An acceptance speech for being among the funniest of Mo Bros in TOMS history? “He [my Mo] and I would like to thank my Dad for getting regular health check-ups and beating prostate cancer into submission in 2009. What a legend!”

Alex’s Mo, earns a spot on the Walk of Fame 
Mo-table highlights? “Movember 10KM Greenwich run was amazing; Seeing all the Mo Bro efforts in the TOMS UK office; and seeing all the Mo Bros in London who are participating in Movember outside of our TOMS team.”
Words from the wise for a potential 2013 Mo Bro? “This is about talking to people, making them aware of the facts, and encouraging people to take an interest in their own health. It’s amazing to join hundreds of thousands of others also sporting a range of awesome Mo’s.”

To the eight guys who gave the TOMS x Movember story a true voice on TOMS Social Media – you’re the raddest – and hairiest - brothers in all the land, and we’re way proud of the efforts you put in on behalf of this collaboration, of which we’re very proud. Thanks a Mo-llion…
