Movember is over for another year, and we wanted to thank all of you who took part! Here's what our moustachioed colleagues got up to! Alan Milne, HSSEQ Field Advisor / T&C Specialist - Canada On top of growing a mo' over 30 days, Alan also ran an impressive 164km throughout November, raising $195! This is Alan's fifth year taking part, showing his dedication to the cause. He also took part in the Oil Rig Rumble - Speak Easy, engaging with his colleagues to discuss mental health in the workplace. Jamie Kennedy, Business Architect - UK, decided to ditch the razors this November, growing not just a moustache, but a beard too, raising £108 for Movember. He's now ready to take on the cold December weather in Scotland! Our colleagues in Darwin, Australia, took advantage of the fantastic weather and hosted their annual Movember BBQ with staff, clients and port stakeholders. There was a fantastic turnout, raising an impressive $1,256! Well done to everyone who took part in or donated to Movember. It's so important to raise awareness and support key men's health issues! #TeamASCO #Movember
