Moustaches will be in vogue this September – lawyers included – if you are connected to the private equity world and want to raise money for charity. The Everyman male cancer campaign launched TacheBack last week by sticking fake moustaches on four of its high-profile participants – but the challenge is to grow a real ’tache during September in return for sponsorship cash.

The Everyman campaign, run by The Institute of Cancer Research, is hoping to raise £300,000 to help raise awareness of, and funds for, research into testicular and prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in men, affecting 35,000 and killing one every hour.
