A little late into the action I know, but I’ve been participating in Movember this November and the mo is taking over my upper lip. I’m going to post all the photos I’ve taken up til now, and for the rest of the mo-nth add a new one each day.
This is the email I sent out when I started…
Hi all,
The time has come for me to grow a mo for a real reason other than taking the piss… During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’ll be growin’ a ‘tache. I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about changing the state of men’s health.
Male health is a major issue, did you know:
Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 6 years less than females.
Every year in New Zealand nearly 600 men (in Australia 2,700) die of prostate cancer - more than the number of women who die from breast cancer.
Depression affects 1 in 6 men - Most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. Rates of suicide are more than double the national road toll.
Help me change the face of men’s health by sponsoring my mo; to all the guys out there, join me.
Please go to http://www.movember.com/au/sponsor, enter my Rego number which is 38443 and your credit card details. All donations of $2 and over are tax deductible (in Australia, at least).
The money raised by Movember will be used to change the face of men’s health by creating awareness and funding research into prostate cancer and male depression.
Cheers,
Bugsy
