Movember

[Gauranga]

My fellow kilties,

I have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to cancers that affect men. I’m doing this by growing a Moustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. My commitment is to grow a moustache all November to change the face of men’s health and I want you to join me.

The funds we raise during our Moustache journey go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LIVESTRONG).

What many people don’t know is that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and that testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 18-35. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved.

To join my Movember team called Obie's Kenobies go to http://us.movember.com/register/54610.

Once registered you’ll be sent all the information needed to get donations and get growing as part of my Movember team.

Learn more about Movember by watching the Intro Video at http://us.movember.com

Together we can change the face of men’s health.

Best regards,

Steve

Sounds like a very worthwhile cause. I wish you luck.

A very good friend of mine lost a testicle to cancer so this issue is close to my heart.

We see pink ribbons everywhere and we are all aware that breast cancer is killing women. Nearly as many men are dying from prostate cancer but nobody seems to be aware of it. The Movember movement is trying to fix that.

Please help by joining my team or donating to the cause.

Either way, its an excuse to grow a moustache right?

Best of luck with your efforts! It's for a truly important cause.
Some of my colleagues at work are also participating, but to ensure domestic harmony (SWMBO hates staches) I can't join in.

Is this related to the popular college holiday "No-Shave November"?

Please don't tell me that to support you I must shave off the one I have had for 35 years and start over

I understand that this is a cause close to your heart, but where exactly are you growing that mustache???

All witty retorts escape me at the moment.

I thought it was Mustache May?

I forwarded on this information to my dad who had prostate cancer a couple years ago...and also has a mustache already.
