Default Movember!

I'm in, the challenge to you is to grow and fund raise, or donate! Which will you do???????????


Hi,
It's Movember and time to focus on men's health. To show my commitment, I'm donating my face to the cause by growing a moustache for the entire month of November, and need your support. My Mo will spark conversations, and no doubt generate some laughs; all in the name of raising vital awareness and funds for prostate cancer and male depression.

Important points about men's health!

*1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
*This year 20,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed
*1 in 8 men will experience depression in their lifetime

Important points about QAL Mo Bros 2011 efforts!



*If we raise $10000, Russ Reading will shave his eyebrows!

*If we raise $15000, Russ will shave 1 eyebrow!

I'm asking you to support my Movember campaign by making a donation by either:
*Donating online at: http://mobro.co/MNM96
*Writing a cheque payable to 'Movember', referencing my Registration ID: 1875980 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 60, East Melbourne, VIC, 8002

* If you prefer cash, give it to me and I will pay it for you.



If you'd like to find out more about the type of work you'd be helping to fund by supporting Movember, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website: http://au.movember.com/about

Thank you in advance for supporting my efforts to change the face of men's health.

MNM96, aka Mike

I am actually in as well, though I am not raising money or getting sponsored.
I am growing the Mo. as a mark of solidarity with some employees who are involved. I am a site manager in the oil/gas industry and have a lot of "hard" men employed. We lose track of the fact that there are a lot of issues we don't often discuss with the relevant people, let alone between ourselves.
Keep your ears and eyes open guys...look out for your brothers and if you think they are in difficulty, put your hand up for them. It's mens' health awareness month,.....physical, mental, emotional health....be aware for them.

I go the Mohawk every year, one of our CAT 793 dump trucks grew a 4 metre long mostache last night, a % of all the gold it carries is donated, it is also painted blue and a % of gold carried by it goes to prostate cancer all year round, we also have a pink truck that it's proceeds are donated to breast cancer as well, had a heap of camera crews in today taking photos of the pink and blue trucks with giant mostache

An updated piccy of dodgy facial hair.

I would say, Mustaches are as gay as a mustache full of spoof!

Good cause but.

Anyone else want to chip in a few $$$ Our team topped $5k today with another $2k pledged also. A guy at work who hasn't been to the hairdressers or used a razor for 10 year will shave tonight.

If we get to our target of $10 000 one lad will shave his eyebrows.

Please pledge today. Men's health and depression is the winner for all my efforts this year.

Anyway.............
