movember and me........

Hi,

 

This year I will be taking part in the “movember†campaign, although due to me going to India at the back end of November I will be starting in mid October. Below is a brief overview of the campaign. I hope you can support me in this worthwhile cause.

 

It's Movember and time to make a difference.

 

Men’s health is a cause I am passionate about but in order to make a difference I need your help. My commitment is to grow a moustache for the month of November and in doing so, raise vital awareness and funds for mens health including prostate and testicular cancer.

 

I am asking you to help support my personal journey by making a donation. The size of which isn’t important, every little contribution helps Movember to continue its funding of world class programmes. If you want to know more about what you’ll be helping to fund, you can visit Movember's Program Overview page.

 

To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics:

• 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime

• This year 40,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed in the UK

• 47% of testicular cancer cases occur in men under 35 years and over 90% occur in men under 55 years

 

If you’d like to help change these statistics, please donate to me by:

• Donating online at: http://mobro.co/grahamokeeffe

• Writing a cheque payable to 'Movember', referencing my Registration ID: 2921373 and mailing it to: Movember Europe PO Box 68600 London EC1P 1EF

 

Thank you in advance for supporting my efforts to change the face of men's health.

Well today was my first day where ive not shaved my moustache part of my face.....once its had a few days ill post the first pic. Mods any chance you can sticky this somewhere prominent for people to see? I would ask anyone and everyone to donate something even if its 50p as it all counts and mens cancer doesnt get enough publicity etc....

 

Also guys please take the time to look at the mens health part of the website as it might just save your life one day...

Sorry dude, you aren't getting a penny of my money! It's clearly only the 18th October so you're cheating by starting early!

 

p.s: I'll be doing Movember myself this year, considering I've got a goatee and haven't seen my chin for about 16 years it could be a bit of a shock!
