Movember 2008
I don’t think anyone but myself has ever seen me with a moustache - and there’s an excellent reason for that: I look like a 1980’s throw-back child molester. But this year, I’m participating in Movember, which means that for the whole month of November, I’ll be growing a mo.
At the beginning of the challenge, I gallantly said that I was going to try for a Clark Gable, but frankly, that’s probably just wishful thinking. My moustache is ginger, for one thing.
So anyway, if walking around with one of these abominations on my face makes me look ridiculous, then why do I bother? Because it’s all for an excellent cause, of course…
Raising money to fight prostate cancer
That’s right - I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate cancer - It’s more than just a fund-raiser; no doubt, lots of people will ask me why the hell I’m wearing a ‘tache, so that’ll be my queue to do some awareness-raising as well. In real life, I’ll tell people to look it up on Wikipedia, but seeing as this is a website, I can just tell you to go read the wikipedia entry - because it’s well worth knowing a bit more about what the money you are about to donate will be fighting against.
The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men’s health issues and donated to The Prostate Cancer Charity which will have an enormous impact on many men’s lives and the awareness will help us to fight prostate cancer on every front - through research, support, information and campaigning.
For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at the Fundraising Outcomes website.
Go on, sponsor my ‘tache…
You can donate to my Mo by clicking on this link (you can pay by Credit Card or PayPal, so it’s all very safe and such things)
Thanks for your support… And don’t worry, I’ll post weekly updates to this page, so you’ll get a fine amount of humiliation for your money.
So, let’s do those links again, to make sure we’ve got them right:
