A large team of Rotorua Hospital workers have put down the shavers in honour of Movember.

The team – named Rotorua Hospital Legends – are growing their facial hair to raise funds and awareness for the men’s mental health and prostate cancer campaign.

The team have been active before,and emergency physician Mazen Shasha revived it after talking about starting it up again to another emergency department worker.

He told the Rotorua Daily Post about his hopes to keep the group as an annual thing, calling it a “noble cause”.

Shasha said in New Zealand, about 4000 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer every year.
