Movemeber

Ok peoples MOVEMBER is upon us again.

This is the month of men growing moustaches to raise awareness of Prostate Cancer.

This year I will be growing one but not raising money via the official MOVEMEBR site, just doing for the fun AND to raise awareness.

I will post up a pic or two over the month just for you all have a giggle and hopefully someone will tell son/dad/grandad/uncle/cousin or themselves to go get checked and maybe we’ll save someone’s life .

I survived, I showed NO symptoms whatsoever, but the results of the histo pathology showed that I was .1mm form having the cancer escape and go elsewhere through my body.

SO anyone around 50 GO GET TESTED. Anyone with family history from about 40 up GO GET TESTED.
A little blood test once a year could just make the difference.

So grow a Mo (optional for the fairer sex) and when anyone asks, tell’em what for and what to do.

PS if anyone wants to PM for embarrassing questions I’m open for that too

why not?

Just raising awareness is may aim, I'm planning a local thing for next year so that money raised goes local and direct to the prostrate cancer support people here. A lot of the moneyraised via things like the Movember people gets eaten up before it gets given

I think its a little unfair how people bandwagon against a group that have made a significant impact.

About 18% gets eaten up by things like awareness campaigns and salaries, but that's about standard for charities of that nature. I'm quite happy with 80% of the money I raise going to the cause.

Hey dude. Good to know you're a MoBro and raising awareness.

Just FYI, you need to start Movember clean-shaven and work on your mogress towards the end of the month. Click the links in my Sig for Team PSB.

Good luck and I hope you have fun
