Something that I am doing in Movember - it means something to me.

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 prostate cancer.

You can donate to my Mo by either:

Clicking this link https://www.movember.com/uk/donate and donating online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
Writing a cheque payable to ‘The Prostate Cancer Charity Re: Movember', referencing my Registration Number 1384281 and mailing it to:
                                               The Prostate Cancer Charity
                                               First Floor Cambridge House
                                               100 Cambridge Grove
                                               Hammersmith
                                               London W6 OLE

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to The Prostate Cancer Charity which will have an enormous impact on many men's lives and the awareness will help us to fight prostate cancer on every front - through research, support, information and campaigning.

Did you know...

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. 35,000 men are diagnosed every year and one man dies every hour.
1 in 11 UK men will be diagnosed in their lifetime .
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:

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 http://uk.movember.com/galatickets/index.php

Thanks for your support,

Adam

sounds like something for a good cause, and that's always cool...but growing a mohawk is cool too :)

We were all off base!

QuoteMovember (the month formerly known as November) is a charity event held during November each year.


At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants known as Mo Bros then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raise as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible.

Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Partés. These glamorous and groomed events will see Tom Selleck and Ian Botham look-a-likes battle it out on the catwalk for their chance to take home the prestigious Man of Movember title.

While growing a Mo is left to the guys, Mo Sistas (ladies who support their guys or just love Mo's!) form an important part of Movember by recruiting Mo Bros, helping to raise funds and attending the highly anticipated Gala Partés.

But it' s not all fun and games, so why the extreme behavior?

Which ever way we look at it, men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy for men is five years less than for women.


The obvious question is why?
Men lack awareness about the very real health issues they face. There is an attitude that they have to be tough - "a real man" - and are reluctant to see a doctor about an illness or go for regular medical checks.

The aim of Movember is to change this attitude, make men's health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of English men and in the process raise some serious funds for key male health issues.

Every year about 35,000 men in the U.K. are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 10,000 men die from of the disease. A British man has a 1 in 11 lifetime risk of developing prostate cancer . It is now the most common cancer diagnosed in men in the U.K. with at least one man dying every hour from the disease.

Movember is very proud to be partnering with The Prostate Cancer Charity (www.prostate-cancer.org.uk) in the U.K.

Funds raised by Movember in the U.K. are directly donated to The Prostate Cancer Charity.

We challenge you to change the face of men's health.

It's not a hawk, it's a stache...

But still very awesome.
