If you bump into McArthurGlen Luxury Retail Chairman Brian Collie this month, you may not recognise him…
The much-respected industry executive (and former BAA Group Retail Director) has long been a generous supporter of various charities. Now he’s an active (depending on how you define the word) participant in a fantastically innovative fund-raising campaign to combat the scourge of prostate cancer.
Brian is participating in MOvember – formerly known as November – the MOnth when men grow MOustaches to try to raise MOney for research into prostate cancer, one of the biggest killers of men worldwide.
MOvember, described as an annual, month-long celebration of the MOustache, last year raised more than US$23 million around the world.
That sum is bound to rise by more than a whisker if Brian has his way. “As a guy whose athletic days are behind him, I’ve decided to exercise my facial hair muscles for a good cause,” he tells us, without revealing details of his training regime.
“So if you are unfortunate enough to bump into me you will (possibly) spot a sparse grey bristly growth above my top lip (more ageing Hitler than Burt Reynolds or 118!), so please don’t think it’s a new look/male menopause/shaving mistake.”
The MOodie Report is supporting Brian’s MOmentous MObilisation of this great cause. You can too at http://uk.movember.com/mospace/282546/
But just to help you out in case you are MOrtified after missing Brian in a MOb of MOustaches, The MOodie Report is here to help with our MO-dentikit to help you identify this newly hirsute travel retail industry MOgul.
He could look like this…
The MObster; Or this…
MOdish; Or this…
MOnastic; Or this…
MOnsignor; Or this…
MOuntain man; Or this…
MOvie star; Or even this…
MOrtifying…
Whatever the ultimate shape, length or twirl of Brian’s MOustache, it’s a great campaign by a great guy for a great cause. Please try to support it.
