Specsavers embraces Movember

Specsavers has backed its workers taking part in Movember and targeted raising £100,000 for charity. Peter Myers (pictured), dispensing assistant at Specsavers Morpeth, has been among those growing a moustache for the month of November.

He said: ‘Like many people, I have friends and family whose lives have been touched by cancer ? either as victims or relatives of sufferers. I wanted to do something positive this year so decided to go for it. I’m not entirely sure what style of moustache I’ve grown but I can’t thank people enough for all their generosity so far in pledging money.’
