Wildcats' Movember Campaign Gathers Momentum

There is a notable addition of facial hair around the Swindon Wildcats' squad this November, as the hockey players grow out their 'Mos' in an effort to raise money for the widespread movement, Movember.

Taking part this year are forwards Adam Harding, Stevie Whitfield, Corey McEwen, Carlo Finucci and netminder Jordan Hedley.

The Cats stars are growing out the facial fuzz in order to raise money and awareness for men's health, as each year gender is increasingly overlooked as one of the strongest and most consistent predictors of health and life expectancy. For men, this is not good news. On average, across the world, men die 6 years earlier than women.

The impact of prostate and testicular cancer on lives is substantial, with prostate cancer being the second most common cancer in men worldwide and the number of cases expected to almost double to 1.7 million cases by 2030.

Check out the guys' progression below:

Adam Harding

Sporting the handlebar moustache, Harding ditched the usual beard in search of the authentic 'mo' look. 

Now 18 days into the process, the look is going strong.

Carlo Finucci

One of the stars of the season so far, in-form Finucci has teamed up the 'mo' look with five o'clock shadow for his Movember showing. 

You can donate to Carlo as part of the team Movember page here.

Sam Bullas

All-action Wildcats man Sam Bullas sports the 'furry stage' of the growth period, as his 'mo' enters day 18.

Stevie Whitfield, Jordan Hedley and Corey McEwen

Both Wildcats team-mates and also house-mates, Jordan Hedley, Stevie Whitfield and Corey McEwen sent Total Sport this collective 'mo selfie' to give us an update of their progress.

While they may blame it on the lighting of the shot, both Hedley and McEwen are lagging behind when it comes to 'mo' growth, and have some catching up to do if they are to match Whitfield's effort, which currently resembles the 1980's scouse footballer look.

The Swindon Wildcats need the facial hair to keep them warm upon the ice, so if you are able, please help the guys out as they continue to raise money for great causes.
