Lincoln ’Mo Bros’ began their mission clean shaven on November 1. After much growing and grooming, fundraisers have raised awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer, testicular cancer and male mental health.
Throughout the month people in Lincoln have done their bit in support of the campaign. City of Lincoln Council Chief Executive and Town Clerk, Andrew Taylor, opted for ‘reverse Movember’ when he lost his 38-year-old ‘tash.
At the starting line, we spoke with Lincolnshire Consultant Urological Surgeon, Jorge Clavijo, who supports the campaign.
Dr Clavijo got in touch with The Lincolnite and provided an update of this year’s efforts.
“We men are not very proactive in looking after our health. Movember is a useful tool to remind us to do our MOTs, men’s health awareness is on the rise albeit slowly”, he said.

Drivers in Lincoln will face nearly a fortnight of disruption when electrical works cause a road closure on Skellingthorpe Road from next week (July 11).
Western Power Distribution will install a new electricity connection for a new primary school on Skellingthorpe Road.
The county council has been constructing a new 130-place school on the site of the former Priory Witham Academy Junior School, which will be for St Christopher’s primary-aged pupils.
As a result, Skellingthorpe Road will be closed between Tritton Road and Boultham Park Road between July 11 and July 22.
This is to ensure the safety of engineers and local people while work is taking place.
A diversion will be put in place via Tritton Road, Doddington Road and Newark Road.
Western Power Distribution said: “We apologise for any inconvenience caused while we complete this essential new connection.”
We are investigating a road traffic collision which happened just after 5pm today.
The crash happened on the A15 just south of Waddington and involved a black Peugeot 208 that collided with a tree. The driver of the car, a 56-year-old male, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The A15 was closed just before 6pm and is likely to remain closed for some time.
We are particularly keen to hear from those who were driving along the A15 this afternoon between 4pm and 5:10pm and may have captured dashcam footage of the road during the collision.
If you have dashcam footage or any other information that will assist in our enquiries, there are a number of ways you can get in touch.
By calling 101 quoting incident 285 of 4 July.
By emailing [email protected] quoting incident 285 of 4 July in the subject line.
