Mr Gallagher said he was raising money and awareness for men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men’s suicide. His cause began on November 1. 

“I am really on board with it and I think it is important in our area as well,” he said. 

“I read somewhere that three out of four suicides were male in the past year. It impacts everywhere really.” 

Mr Gallagher has raised $50 for the cause and said he is thankful his boss allowed him to grow the moustache. 

“This is my first year doing it and my first year doing it with Rotaract,” he said. 

“Last year we had two males growing moustaches at Rotaract.

“We are trying to spread as much awareness as possible.”
