Movember!

Hi All,

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'm growing a Mo. That's right I'm bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate about tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer.

To donate to my Mo you can either:

Click this link https://www.movember.com/au/donate/dona ... country=au and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
Write a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation', referencing my Registration Number 1853176 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 breast cancer annually.
For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at: [ Fundraising Outcomes ].

Movember culminates at the end of month Gala Partés. If you would like to be part of this great night you'll need to purchase a [ Gala Parté Ticket ].

Thanks for your support Douglas.

More information is available at http://www.movember.com/.



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.

Well folks, I managed to appear in a number of photo's last night at the SES awards night so thought I'd share my day 9 progress.

So far however I have only had promises for money if I shave it off immediately. So help me provide I reason why I should let it grow for another 21 days before shaving it off...there's proof that it exists and is growing.

N.b. My eyes are normally red as I am one of those evil IT people that break the database all the time. I also had to crop the young attractive girl next to me out of the image otherwise you wouldn't see me. Haha

Well done on the mo. I shaved my scruff off for a VFRS meeting on Saturday.

I'm guessing that's what he was alluding to :)

But a true BOFH doesn't need to call himself that. People just *know* :P
