Movember...and the health of men.

Mike Mentzer is a hero of mine, therefore
I'm going to try to emulate his amazing Mo.

For those of you who don't know, Movember is a charity that aims to raise vital funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostrate and testicular cancer.

This is a worldwide charity that is growing exponentially. Last year there were over 450,000 registered Mo Bros.

So let me clarify, throughout the month of November a Mo Bro grows a moustache. Simple. In this effect, and partially cause he might look a little silly, he "becomes a walking billboard" answering questions and raising funds.

For me, personally, my involvement is simply that we know that men are reluctant to discuss health issues, and too lazy to go to doctors (although it might be because if we didn't know the way then we'd have to ask directions to the doctors and get stuck at the first hurdle!). There are a million and one great causes out there, and I've no doubt everyone does their bit in one way or another, but ultimately every little helps. Don't think that giving £5.00 or £10.00 is too much, or you'll look stingy giving less. I'd rather you sign over 50pence and help me raise funds. If everyone reading this gives 50p then I'll have done my bit.

Of course, as the proud owner of finely rugged beard, I'll need to shave the beard and grow the moustache. (sad face!)

All pictures of my Mo will be posted on my blog.

Many thanks
