Enjoy Movember delights by Thomas Haas

Thomas Haas is supporting the Movember Foundation for the second year in a row by donating 10 per cent of proceeds from his exclusive moustache-themed creations, including: Chocolate Movember Lollipops, a Movember Moustache Bar featuring Guinness ganache and a stout-malt wafer, and a Movember Dark Chocolate Cake featuring delectable dark whisky ganache, malt wafer and moustache accents. All of the chocolate delights are available for purchase at both patisserie locations.

Take part in the Miler Run

Gather your friends and family to run or walk for a cause. The Movember Moustache Miler is a global virtual run, which means you can participate whenever and wherever you want from November 15 until November 30. Look for a local meet-up happening in your area, or create your own 5k, 10k, or half-marathon route. Post your “Mo Pride” on social media using #MoMiler, and don’t be afraid to get creative (there’s a prize for the best moustache-shaped run).
