The Mo Stays. The Hair Goes.

Just in case you didn't know, I have been growing a moustache as part of Movember. I would now like to introduce you to my Mo. This is the first moustache I have ever grown and I am quite proud of my effort. Apart from the dribbling, it's a great companion. I have also decided to keep my hair short. Some of the things people have said about my Mo:

  • With the orange shirt and no hair, you look totally prisoner, man!
  • It suites you.
  • You look artistic.
  • You remind me of Fu Manchu. And you laugh like him too!
  • You just scared the hell out of me!!!!!!! WOW. Like the Mo but I have to ask where is your hair?
  • Does your hair grow at different rates on various parts of your head?
  • I'm thinking you've just transplanted it from your scalp to your upper lip!

So far I have raised enough money that they sent me a shaving kit! I had fun. No one got hurt. Money was raised. Now I'm scary on the outside too!

To donate to my Mo you can either:

  1. Click this link:  https://www.movember.com/au/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=1851911&country=au and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
  2. Write a cheque payable to 'Movember Foundation', referencing my Registration Number 1851911 and mailing it to:

Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181

Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative. The PCFA and beyondblue will use the funds to fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and depression.

Did you know:

  • Depression affects 1 in 6 men....most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
  • Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who will die from *** cancer annually.

Movember is proudly grown by Holden and Schick.

Movember is proud partners with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative.
