It’s that time of year again when men all over the country are sprouting mo’s. Most are in aid of Movember and the rest are just asked if it’s in aid of Movember. Either way, this can only mean one crucial fact; Tache of the Titans is back.

Movember is a great cause focussed on raising awareness of men’s health issues. Tache of the Titans aims to add even more benefit to the cause by allowing anyone who is taking part in the month long campaign to go head to head against other mo bro’s. One Tache to rule them all!

Tache of the Titans has had an upgrade for this years bouts. We have added ‘groups’, which basically means that you can once and for all prove who out of your family, friend or work colleagues has the ultimate mo on the go. The actual process is the same as before. All you need to do is simply upload a photo of your tache (Face tache only…!) and you will be entered into a head to head bout against another Titan. All of the votes cast go into a clever league table based on the percentage of bouts won.

The competition won’t actually take place until the last week of November, which allows an essential mo maturity time so that everyone can look like Tom Selleck by the time the ’bouting’ begins…in theory.

In the meantime we hope you can all push past the homeless looking stage as quickly as possible and upgrade to the prestigious “I need a tache comb” status.

Good luck gentlemen, we salute you.

Jack Henderson is six years old and he will draw anything to raise money for The Sick Kids Friends Foundation.

We love the initiative. And we are big fans of The Sick Kids Hospital. Those of us who have had children treated there know how lucky we are to have such a world class facility on our doorstep.

So we had a whip round, made a donation, and asked Jack to draw us a robot that we could frame and add to our collection.

He duly obliged with the picture above, with which we’re delighted.

At the time of writing Jack is 75% of the way to achieving his target of raising £10,000. You can help him cross the finishing line by making a donation on his JustGiving account, and asking him to draw you a picture.

What a star!

A quick Storify collation of tweets containing both hashtags tells its own story.

You can donate to the SXSW disaster relief effort (via the Red Cross) at http://sxsw4japan.org/.

Charlie, Andy and Paul have co-created Tache of the Titans as an out-of-hours hobby project.

It’s a fun site that will hopefully help to promote the cause of Movember, the month-long, mass-participation charity event in which people grow moustaches to help raise awareness of men’s health issues.

Anyone that is growing a moustache for Movember can upload a photgraph of their hairy pride and joy (upper lip based hairy pride and joys only!) and take part in the Tache of the Titans.

This involves an addictive series of head to head voting bouts with other taches.

These bouts are used to generate a tache league table, which is based on the percentage of bouts won.

We have also added a simple weighting system that acts to stop new entrants jumping straight to the top of the table after only a few bouts.

The launch of the site coincides with there being exactly one week of Movember left to run. Hopefully even the most hormonally challenged tache growers will have something vote-worthy to show for their efforts by now.

The site has a prominent link to Movember, and allows individual participants to promote their personal Movember charity links.

You can donate to men’s health charities here.

And watch this space to see which is the “One Tache To Rule Them All.”

I had a lot of fun yesterday at the Institute of Fundraising National Convention (#iofnc). A quick thank you to everyone who came to the talk I did with David Knights from Anthony Nolan.

The slides from the presentation and the relevant research are available to download. I also put the presentation on slideshare but, after several failed attempts to upload, what’s there is a bit font-mangled. Come on slideshare – sort it out
