Movember 2021: Day 30

Movember 2021: Day 30

It’s that time of year again! That time when I brave cold cheeks in the name of charity. Yes it’s Movember!

I’ve been doing Movember for about 10 years now as it’s a cause that is close to my heart, and this year, as we are now able to be more sociable again, I am back to fundraising for the Movember Foundation. For those who haven’t heard of the Movember Foundation, they focus on “changing the face of men’s health” with a focus on testicular cancer, prostate cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. If you wish to donate, every little helps, and there are 3 ways you can do so:

  • Head to my Mo Space
  • Check out my Instagram (@pstetheridge), where I have set up a second fundraiser
  • Write a cheque to ‘Movember’ referencing my registration ID (13438480) and mail it to: Movember Europe, PO Box 485, Wilstead, Bedford, MK45 3XN

This year, I’m planning to chart my “Mo-gression” with a series of posts on here. I’m aiming for one every 5-6 days but don’t hold me to that. For each one, I’ll let you have an update on how things are going along with my latest picture so that you can see how the growth is going. But this site is all about sport, so of course I have added a slight sporting twist, as each of my Mo-gression posts will also include a quick look at someone in the sporting world who has a notable moustache. I won’t promise that they will be the most famous moustached sport stars in the world, purely the ones who first came to mind as I put this together.

So… let’s get underway!

Day 30

And so, the end is near. The Monkeytail must face the final curtain. Well, it’ll hang around for a few days until I can be bothered to shave. It has been another fun month of growing and raising both funds and awareness for the Movember Foundation.

movember 2021 day 30

A few people have asked me about how hard it is to do this, and it’s pretty much second nature to me now as I’ve done it 4 or 5 times now, so I thought I’d put together a few tips for anyone thinking of giving it a go next year:

  • Decide which way round you want to do it (which ear it will go up to). If you have a patch where it doesn’t grow on one side, you may have to take that into account when planning. If you have a chance beforehand, it may be worth just practicing the next few times you shave to see what looks or feels better. Personally, I prefer taking it up to my right ear as I’m right-handed, so when shaving it feels more comfortable making the more precise movements on the right side of my face rather than reaching across my body.
  • Try to keep the shape distinct, shave every couple of days to ensure that the rest of your face does not get to a stage where the stubble is almost as long as the design, as this just makes it harder to find the shape when you are shaving.
  • Similar to the above, once I have the shape in place, I prefer just using soap rather than shaving gel, as it allows me to see the design and keep the shape
  • Personally, I find it helpful to use my jawline as the bottom of the section going up the side of my face, while the for the section going down the one side of my mouth I take advantage of a natural thinning of my facial hair between the top lip and my cheeks, which I also use for my natural beard
  • Start big. Don’t make it really narrow straight away as that leaves you no room for error. As I get into the latter stages, I will often just take a little off in places to get it looking exactly how I want it

And now of course for the fundraising! Thank you to everyone who has donated, I managed to reach my initial target of £100 on my Mo Space, while I have also raised £35.45 on my Instagram fundraiser. Of course, there is still time to donate if you want, but this is already one of my most successful years!

So for our final report, I stick with rugby, with Mat Turner

mat turner
Movember_Partner Badges_Proud Mo Grower_Black

Mat Turner is a South African born rugby player, most well known for his time in the World Sevens Series and Major League Rugby.

Usually a wing or fullback in 15s, Turner started his professional career at Bristol (2008-2010), during which time he also played for the newly-created South African franchise the Southern Kings in their first ever match, against the British & Irish Lions during the 2009 Lions Tour.

Turner played for England 7s courtesy of his English mother. He went on to become a regular for the team, featuring in 34 Sevens World Series tournaments between 2009-2013, scoring 93 tries and 16 conversions over 145 matches. Turner was top scorer in the 2011–12 IRB Sevens World Series with 38 tries (1 more than teammate Dan Norton), and was nominated for the 2012 IRB Sevens Player of the Year award.

Following his 7s career, he returned to 15s, where he played for Western Province in the 2015 Vodacom Cup after missing out on a spot in the Stormers’ 2015 Super Rugby squad. After a spell as the head coach of the Sri Lanka national rugby sevens team, he signed with the Seattle Seawolves for the inaugural MLR season, going on to be a regular starter for them in all 4 seasons to date, being named MLR champions in 2018 and 2019.

 

So why does Turner make this list, as he is most commonly seen clean shaven or with a beard. Well it all goes back to Movember 2013, as much younger Tim was browsing YouTube looking for updates on the current 7s season and found a video of Turner’s effort for the year… You’ve guessed it, the monkey tail!

Day 26

We’re just days away from the end of the month and as per usual, I have fallen well and truly in love with the Monkeytail. This happens every year, and a large part of me needs to keep it, but then what would I do next November?!

Movember_Partner Badges_Proud Mo Grower_Black
movember 2021 day 26

So last time I updated you I was feeling a little negative after a couple of family members decided not to donate after originally saying they would, so apologies for that. But the last few days have seen a bit of positive movement on the fundraising front. A donation from one of my regular Mo-Bros recently donated on my Mo Space, while I was touched to see a complete stranger find my Instagram fundraiser and donate there! With working from home, the Monkeytail’s public viewings have been limited this year, but tomorrow I take a trip to Birmingham and intend to show it off to the full.

With just a few days left of the month, I know many of us are reaching payday, and while this is understandably and expensive time of year, anything that you can donate will be greatly appreciated.

So for our penultimate report, I return to Australian rugby, with Nick Cummins

rugby nick cummins
Movember_Partner Badges_Proud Mo Grower_Black
rugby nick cummins world 15

Nick Cummins, known to many as “The Honey Badger” is a former Australian rugby player, who was usually found on the wing. During his professional career, he played club rugby for Perth Spirit (2007) and the Western Force (2008-2015). In July 2014, he was released early from his Western Force and Australian Rugby Union contracts on compassionate grounds to move to Japan and play for Coca-Cola Red Sparks, as the higher salaries available in Japan would provide his family some security as they dealt with some health issues. This move abroad brought his Test career with the Wallabies to an end, having scored 6 tries in 15 appearances.

While a great player, what really made Cummins a fan favourite was that you would never know what he would say next in an interview, with the below quotes just a quick example of his entertainment value:

  • “Sweatin’ like a gypsy with a mortgage, actually.”
  • “Last year we were all sizzle and no steak, but now we’re off like a brides nightie.”
  • “When you come into this sort of game you’ve got to show the patience of the Dalai Lama initially in order to get that gig and when it comes round be ready to strike.”
  • “He was sweating like a bag of cats at a greyhound meet.”
  • “When we were back in our line here, we were diggin’ like the boys in the trenches at Gallipoli.”
  • “I was busier than a one-armed bricklayer in Baghdad mate, it was flat out.”

Day 21

It’s hard to believe that we’re already 3 weeks through this! I am now well and truly attached to the Monkeytail, so much so that I am considering it making a return next year but for an extended run (wach this space!)

movember 2021 day 21
Movember_Partner Badges_Proud Mo Grower_Black

Now I must admit, 21 days into the month, I’m extremely grateful for everyone who has donated, but I must admit that I find myself a little disappointed. I set myself a relatively low initial target of £100, and thanks to your generosity I am already 60% of the way there, while I’ve also had a donation on the Instagram fundraiser, but I was hoping to have a bit more success, especially as I feel like I’ve been pushing harder than usual on social media! I appreciate that everyone is always asking for donations for some charitable thing, while the timing of this right before Christmas probably doesn’t help, but I’ve also had a few people—close family members, no less— say they’ll donate and then back out when they see how to donate.

So let me remind you why I do this:

  • Globally, men die 5 years earlier than women, and many of the reasons are largely preventable
  • In the UK, 3 out of 4 suicides are men
  • 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
  • Testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men

I’m lucky, I’m able to help the Movember Foundation, rather than need their help. But I can only do so much, and I need your support. As always, any donations would be greatly appreciated!

So for Day 21, I look at the wearer of one of the greatest moustaches in sport, with Merv Hughes

Movember_Partner Badges_Proud Mo Grower_Black
cricket merv hughes

Mervyn Hughes is a former Australian cricketer. A right-arm fast bowler, he represented Australia in 53 Test matches between 1985-1994, taking 212 wickets. He played 33 One Day Internationals, taking 38 wickets. He took a hat-trick in a Test against the West Indies at the WACA in 1988–89 that was unusual as it was spread across three separate overs, two innings and two different days. In 1993, he took 31 wickets in the Ashes series against England. He was a useful lower-order batsman, scoring two half-centuries in Tests and over 1,000 runs in all. He also represented the Victorian Bushrangers, Essex in English county cricket, the ACT Comets and Australia A in the World Series Cup.

Best bowling 8/87 4/44 8/87 5/41

Hughes’ physical presence, handlebar moustache, penchant for exuberant displays of affection for his fellow players, along with a tendency to talk to the opposition in inventively colourful language and a run-up that at times stretched to 45 paces, made him a firm favourite amongst supporters, who would often imitate his warm-up stretches behind him en masse. In England, on his second Ashes tour in 1993, the crowd often chanted “Sumo” when he ran in to bowl.

So for Day 16, I move away from the racetrack and to the football pitch, with a look at David Seaman

Movember_Partner Badges_Proud Mo Grower_Black
football david seaman

David Seaman is an English former footballer, who played as goalkeeper in a career spanning from 1981-2004. At his peak, Seaman was regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world during the 1990s.

Seaman began his career at Leeds United, the club he supported as a boy, and eventually retired as a Manchester City player due to a recurring shoulder injury, but is most famous for his time at Arsenal, where he won three league championships (1991, 1998, 2002), four FA Cups (1993, 1998, 2002, 2003), the League Cup in 1993 and the European Cup Winners Cup in 1994. The full list of teams he played for is:

  • Leeds United (1981-1982) – 0 appearances
  • Peterborough United (1982-1984) – 91 appearances
  • Birmingham City (1984-1986) – 75 appearances
  • Queens Park Rangers (1986-1990) – 141 appearances
  • Arsenal (1990-2003) – 405 appearances
  • Manchester City (2003-2004) – 19 appearances

Seaman made his England debut in 1988 and appeared for the side in fifteen consecutive years, which was a national record. He went on to earn 75 caps, leaving him as the joint-second most capped English goalkeeper, level with Joe Hart and behind only Peter Shilton.

We’re basically a third of the way through the month and if Day 6’s first shave is the most important, Day 10’s was only slightly less. With this shave, the Monkeytail becomes fully visible, so it’s important to get the shaping right. One slip of the hand and the design could be ruined.

So for Day 10, I’ve stayed in motor racing but moved from Britain to the US, with a look at Dale Earnhardt

motor sports nascar dale earnhardt
Movember_Partner Badges_Proud Mo Grower_Black
BRICKYARD EARNHARDT

Dale Earnhardt was an American stock car racer who raced from 1975 to 2001 in the former NASCAR Winston Cup Series (now called the NASCAR Cup Series). His aggressive driving style earned him the nicknames “The Intimidator”, “The Man in Black”, and “Ironhead”. He is regarded as one of the greatest drivers, and by many NASCAR fans, the greatest driver, in NASCAR history. He is most commonly associated with the Number 3 Chevrolet—if you have seen the film Zombieland, Talahassee paints a “3” on his cars as a reference to Dale Earnhardt.

Earnhardt won a total of 76 Winston Cup races over the course of his four-decade career, including four Winston 500s (1990, 1994, 1999, and 2000) and the 1998 Daytona 500. He is the only driver in NASCAR history to score at least 1 win in each of 4 different decades (1st career win in 1979, 38 wins in the 1980s, 35 wins in the 1990s, & his final 2 career wins in 2000). He also earned seven Winston Cup championships, a record held with Richard Petty and Jimmie Johnson.

On February 18, 2001, Earnhardt died in a sudden last-lap crash during the Daytona 500, an event that is regarded in the racing industry as being a crucial moment in improving safety in all aspects of car racing, especially NASCAR. Earnhardt has been inducted into numerous halls of fame, including the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2006 and the NASCAR Hall of Fame inaugural class in 2010.

After going back to the baby face and seeing the stubble grow back in for the best part of the week—not to mention going to my friend’s wedding reception without the comfort of my beard—today was the day that I officially went for the first shaping of this year’s mo. So without further ado, I present to you 2021’s Monkeytail!

Nigel Mansell is a British former racing driver. In Formula 1, he raced for Lotus (1980-84), Williams (85-88) and Ferrari (89-90), before returning to Williams (91-92). Mansell won the 1992 Championship, before leaving F1 for the CART Indy Car World Series, which he won in his debut season in 1993. After the 1994 CART season, he returned to Formula 1 with Williams for rounds 7, 14, 15 and 16 of the 1994 season following the death of Ayrton Senna. He moved to McLaren for the 1995 season, but retired after races 3 and 4.

In Formula 1, Mansell turned 191 (187 starts) into 31 wins—the only Brit to have eclipsed this to date is Lewis Hamilton—and 59 podiums. From 31 starts in CART, Mansell managed 5 victories and 13 podiums. Mansell was inducted to the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2005.

Day 1

And so it begins!

And it didn’t get off to the ideal start if I’m being 100% honest. I chose to shave yesterday evening as I didn’t trust myself to have time to sort before work this morning. After my last shave, I’d got rid of the head to my razor as I’d seen I had some new ones, and thought that with a full clean shave coming rather than just shaping my usual beard it would be better to have a new set of blades. Unfortunately I found out too late that these blades were for my old razor, which is long gone, so I ended up having to use this new set of blades without a handle. Safe to say that it was far from the nicest shave I’ve ever had!

So now I’m left able to see the extra chins and with cold cheeks, and can’t wait for the face fuzz to start growing in—for some reason I feel less self-conscious with ridiculous facial hair during Movember than I do when clean shaven! What design am I doing this year? You’ll have to wait and see!

The 31-year-old scrum half has been around the globe as part of his rugby career, playing for the Brumbies from 2011-2015, Montpellier from 2015-2017 and Exeter Chiefs from 2017-2020 before returning back to the Brumbies to become eligible for the national team again. To date, he has amassed 44 caps.

While at Montpellier, they won the 2015–16 European Rugby Challenge Cup, while his final season with Exeter saw them win the Premiership and European Rugby Champions Cup, a rare double. With his return to the Brumbies, he soon earned more silverware as they won the 2020 Super Rugby AU.
