I'm Growing A Mo'

Here in Australia, close to 3,300 men die from prostate cancer each year, and 1 in every 8 men will experience depression. Every year, the Movember Foundation runs Movember, to raise awareness of these mens health issues, and to raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue.

For the last 5 or so years, I have had the best of intentions about participating in Movember, but for one reason or another, it never happened. This year, I’ve finally gotten off my arse and signed up. I’ve joined forces with a number of other men from the company I work for to form a fundraising team.

What I need now are your donations and support. Visit my Movember profile and, if you can, click the “Donate to me” or “Donate to my team” button and give what you can. It’s a great cause.

I’ll be posting regular updates and photos of the ugly caterpillar that will be growing on my upper lip once Movember kicks off in earnest on November 1.

This post was originally posted on my tumblelog, but I thought it was important enough to cross post here. Any support you can offer is greatly appreciated.
