Movember madness

EXPAT Marcus Patterson is doing remarkably well in his bid to raise money for charity by growing a moustache.

The Swansea lad, now living in San Pedro, has raised 433 euros so far by sprouting what we’re sure you’ll agree is a mighty attractive set of whiskers (see photo).

Movember โ€“ a combination of โ€˜moustacheโ€™ and โ€˜Novemberโ€™ โ€“ sees participants growing facial hair to raise awareness of menโ€™s health issues, such as prostate cancer.

โ€œIn Spain itโ€™s not a big thing yet,โ€ said Marcus, 34.

โ€œMy friend Salva recently nearly died from testicular cancer. He has just come out of Malaga Hospital. He lost a testicle, but somehow he has beaten it.โ€
