Movember 2011 – The Final Mo

This is what I managed to grow this year. I am very happy with the results, its much better than my 2009 effort. So far I have raised £130, but as a team we raised £1,520, which is fantastic for 9 people!

I have to admit it was harder getting donations this year, as there are so many more men taking part. Everyone I spoke to knew several people who were doing it, so the money had already been donated. This isn’t a problem as the money goes to the same great place.

Globally almost £70 million has been raised in 2011, and I am sure more will come in. Its amazing to be part of something so simple to raise money for something so worthy.

Movember 2011 – The Preperation

It’s that time again when men all over the country decide to grow a tasty mo for charity.

Movember helps raise money for prostate and testicular cancer research. During the month of Movember we grow a moustache and have some fun raising money.

I did this 2 years ago and raised £205. My attempt was good, but my mo was not very impressive due mainly to me being ginger and having fair hair, so it wasn’t very noticable to begin. To this end I decided to grow a beard for a month before Movember to give myself a fighting chance of having  decent mo.

Tomorrow morning I will have a long over due shave. Its not been very nice, its itchy and messy and my wife hates it. I might even get a barber to give my mo some love.

If you want to donate please visit my Mo Bro page: http://mobro.co/dooza. I am part of a team with friends from work, so far we have raised £138, I am sure we can raise a lot more!

The Final Mo

Mo On Day 30A little bit late posting this (whats new!) but this was my Mo for Movember on the last day of November. I raised £190 online, with another £15 collected in cash. I want to thank everyone for helping me raise this money for Prostate Cancer Charity, but mostly I want to thank my wife Louise for the support, and putting up with my Mo.

You can still donate to the cause, its not too late. Just pop along to my page over at Movember and give as much as you like.

I am growing a moustache for Movember

movemberI am growing a moustache this year for Movember.  I have decided to put down my razor for one month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer.

What many people don’t appreciate is that one man dies every hour of prostate cancer in the UK, more than 35,000 men will be diagnosed this year and that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK.  Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me.

To donate to my Mo, you can either:

•    Click this link http://uk.movember.com/mospace/248012/ and donate online using your credit card, debit card or PayPal account
•    Write a cheque payable to ‘The Prostate Cancer Charity – Movember’, referencing my Registration Number 248012 and mailing it to: Movember – The Prostate Cancer Charity, First Floor, Cambridge House, Cambridge Grove, London, W6 0LE.

Movember is now in its third year here in the UK  and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Charity.  Check out further details at: http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.
