Hou Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 Ok I am a little early but thought I would get in there now!Prostate cancer is a subject very close to my heart. I have lost two family members to it, my father has to get regular checks just incase due to it running in the family and one day I may even get it.As with all cancers it is a horrible painful illness but this one effects men only.In light of this Movember was started and is an international event. It is to sponsor someone to grow a Mo (moustache) for the whole of november. I will be again partaking in this and will be heading up a team of people doing the same.Last year we raised £1262 as a teamFunniest bit though is although I have brown hair....................my beard grows ginger!!!!And a quick picture of last year's Mo: This year I will be going for similar but a bit bigger and coloured in blackSo, you may ask, why are you wanting from me?At the Moment I am not asking for cash, just YOUR FACE!I want YOU to be part of the Hairy Ninjas. Please help us with our cause, we need likeminded people to join our team and help us to raise much needed cash for Prostate and Testicular Cancers. Last year Movember as a whole raised £11.7million in the Uk and £79.3 million worldwide.Anyone interested please let me know, only 6 weeks left to get permission from the Mrs!Please join our team here: https://www.movember.com/uk/register/details/team_id/425905Over the past two years, Movember has paid homage to the Modern Gentleman and Country Gentleman, exploring his appreciation and penchant for luxury items, etiquette, craftsmanship, pride and honour. In 2012, we are getting down to the raw hard truths of the past two years and taking a look, quite simply, at what it means to be a better man. 2012 is the year of Movember & Sons. Knowledge shared from one generation to the next and wisdom passed down by one’s dad or father figure, plays a meaningful role in shaping who we become. This learning continues throughout life, but also reaches a point at which the exchange is reversed and insight is passed back up the chain. The collective knowledge of generations gives us great power to avoid mistakes of the past, plan thoughtfully for the future and to become the best version of one’s self. This Movember, we will encourage all men to seek and share knowledge and wisdom with loved ones, to learn their family health history and predispositions and to understand the risks they face. These simple actions can have a significant impact of the quality and longevity of your journey through this life. Last year, Movember had its most successful year to date with over 850,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas across the globe raising a phenomenal GBP £79.3 million for prostate and testicular cancers. The hairy movement will continue to grow in 2012, as 21 countries across five continents unite to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health. Knowledge is power; the time to learn and grow is now. Prepare yourself my sonCheers in advance,Hou Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Keenoep82 Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) As my facial fungus growing abilities are pitiful (even at nearly 24 years old!) I won't be volunteering. However, I hereby pledge a fiver to anyone who grows and maintains a full set of Friendly Muttonchops for the whole of Movember!
