Movember

Hi everyone,
I am growing a moustache this year for Movember. I have decided to put down my razor for one month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men's health - specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.
What many people don't appreciate is that close to 3,000 men die of prostate cancer each year in Australia and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime - many of whom don't seek help. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me.


To sponsor my Mo, you can either:
* Click this link http://au.movember.com/mospace/365098/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
* Write a cheque payable to 'Movember Foundation', referencing my Registration Number 365098 and mailing it to: Movember Foundation, PO Box 292, Prahran, VIC, 3181
Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Movember is now in its sixth year and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCFA) and beyondblue: the national depression initiative. Check out further details at: http://au.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs .

Are we going to have a how to on moustache groing and maintenance?

Could be, could be I will see what I can come up with for all you Mo-Bro's and Mo-Sisters out there.

You never see moustaches any more, probably more of a 1970s thing:skeptical:

Here we go, the first update day six, Mo progress is slow, but at least you can see it.

A fantastic cause and I urge all of you (who can) to gro a mo in NO./ My partner had prostate cancer for 8 years before he died 6 months ago today- so do it for us...spread the word- prostate cancer KILLS- not just old men but young men too (and the treatments kill too) x

Ok here we have it, Movember update number 2 - 16th movember 2009, as you can all see, my progression to fuzziness is coming along well. I'm still looking for donations so visit my Mo Space Page and send me a pound or two. http://au.movember.com/mospace/365098/

Its the 28th so only a couple of days to go, my pursuit of hairiness is almost complete and I'm becoming quite attached to my new Mo, I may keep it after Movember is done and dusted.

Don't forget you still have a few days to donate, all you have to do is go to my donation page http://au.movember.com/mospace/365098/ and you can even use paypal to send any loose change towards this great cause.
