So I finally committed to it and I am now growing a moustache this year for Movember. Now I’m not just growing any old moustache to help raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. No I am growing the ultimate in manly man moustaches:
The Magnum PI Mo
That’s right I am taking on the challenge for one month to go from:
to this:
So why is this so important that I would take my usual Miami Vice Stubble to Magnum PI Mo?*
You see what a lot of people don’t realise is that close to 3,000 men die of prostate cancer each year in Australia alone and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime – many of whom don’t seek help. I’ve had my own brushes with men’s health issues, so that and those facts have convinced me that 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/204841/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
- Write a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation’, referencing my Registration Number 204841 and mailing it to: Movember Foundation, PO Box 292, Prahran, VIC, 3181
Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible (in Australia).
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.
