MONTREAL - Men around the globe were shaving their faces Wednesday night to mark the end of Movember.

The annual fundraiser, which raises money and awareness for prostate cancer, asked men to shave November 1 and grow a moustache for the last 30 days.

Bradley Semmelhaack, who raised the most money in Quebec last year, doubled it this Movember, hitting the $10,000 target.

His goal was also to promote the early detection of prostate cancer.

""Your survivorship is going to go way up if you actually have it checked out on a yearly basis," said Semmelhaack.

Though the final tallies aren't yet counted, the movement looks as though it will double last year's 120,000 mobros and sisters.

Here in Quebec, there are six to eight times the number of registrants for Movember versus last year.

Hurley's bartender Rod Applebee grew his 'stache to raise awareness that one in seven men is diagnosed with prostate cancer.

He said there's camaraderie between Movember growers, even if they're strangers.

"A guy in the elevator with a moustache, we both nodded at each other. It's like this universal respect, I guess," he said,

And then there's Liesl Barrell, a mo-sister who wore a different fake moustache every single day of Movember.

Her favourite is the double rainmo.

"It's actually made entirely out of moveable megablocks," she said, showing off her extensive collection of upper-lip wear. "There's not even any glue. It's great."

While amazingly cool, she points out the 'stache doesn't have the same effect as the hairy moustaches she also sported.

"It gets a great reaction. I get high fives from bus drivers. People come up to me on the street and say ‘Movember, yeah,'" she said.

CTV Montreal mo-bros also manned up for the cause, including cameraman Marc D'Amours, who went the traditional route with his stash, satellite technician Ken Dow, whose handlebar 'stache also grew in well, and sales and promotions coordinator Jay Devine, who didn't have quite as much luck

"I didn't even know I was Irish until this came in," said Jay, referring to the surprise red in his hairy face.

When asked if the ladies liked it, Devine had to come clean.

"No, not really, they think it's kind of creepy," he said. "I agree."

The gang from Movember Canada said no matter how the moustaches turned out, it's the message that counts.

"It's first and foremost about having fun, because if you don't get men to have fun, they aren't going to talk about it," said Pete Bombaci of Movember Canada.
