Chester Catholic High School students in Class 7 (Luke) sporting their 'Mo's
Moustaches have come and moustaches have gone and a hair-raising amount of money has been raised to support research into men’s cancer last month.
Men (and women!) all over Chester have been taking part in the charity fundraiser Movember to raise cash for men’s health including prostate and testicular cancer.

Pupils at Chester Catholic High School brightened up the day by painting on moustaches to raise their cash.
Boys and girls alike paid up to have a black tache, choosing from traditional handlebars through to scary pirates.
PE teacher and head of Year 10 Dylan Green said: “We support Movember each year. It's really nice to see the students joining in this time, especially those who would never usually sport a ‘Mo'.”
Customers walking into a furniture store in Chester this month could be forgiven for thinking they had walked into the 1980s.

Male members of staff at Alan Ward in Sealand Road grew a moustache in aid of the charity.
Store manager Mark Driver, assistant manager Andrew Chard and sales team members Mark Hirst, Terry Dowdeswell, Kevin Trousdale and Peter Lloyd all sported a ‘Mo’ for the whole month of November.
Marketing manager Kathy Lesser said: “One of the sales staff first came up with the idea.
“They were all having a bit of competition between themselves about whose was the best and how they were going to style it as we get further into the month.”
