Movember - Photo update of progress
« on: October 28, 2010, 11:38:14 am »
Hi,

This Movember I've decided to donate my face to raising awareness about prostate cancer.  My donation and commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter.  :grin:

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One man dies every hour from the disease in the UK. This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I'm asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to The Prostate Cancer Charity. To help, you can either:

-    Click this link http://uk.movember.com/donate/your-details/member_id/722604/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account . Or,

-    Send cheques and CAF vouchers (made payable to 'The Prostate Cancer Charity Re Movember') directly to The Prostate Cancer Charity, First Floor, Cambridge House, Cambridge Grove, London W6 0LE. Be sure to include the person's name on the back of the cheque.

The Prostate Cancer Charity will use the money raised by Movember for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.

For more details on the impact Movember is having please visithttp://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs

Thank you in advance for helping me to support men's health.  :happy2:

Chris

Something like this would suit.

I will donate extra £££ if you grow a handlebar moustache.

A bi-weekly photo update is mandatory. I never knew what it was like to grow a beard or moustache. I came out the womb with them already on!


The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Nice one, Chris!  :drinking:

What are you going to do if your missus turns round and says she loves your moustache and new look and wants you to keep it?   :evilgrin:

I've decided to kind of take part in this as well to support the lads at work :smiley:  Obviously I can't grow a moustache so I've changed my Facebook photo for the month of November to this:



It was taken at a Christmas party a few years ago and the moustache was my cracker toy :grin:
