Lock up your daughters and your beard trimmers, after a two-year hiatus, the ‘stache is back for Movember. The first time around, the legend of Ron Burgundy lived again and the city of Vancouver couldn’t keep scotch in stock. This time, it’s taking the form of a Texas rancher ‘stache that Yosemite Sam would be proud to call his own, and the ladies of London only wish they could.
Of course, growing an impeccably groomed moustache in November is meant to do more than just raise the eyebrows of Blighty's women and the ire of thin-bearded men. It’s about raising awareness and funding for men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One man dies every hour from the disease in the UK. As me and 3 billion of my brothers from other mothers (and two from the same) are at risk, this is kind of a big deal.
So I’m asking you to support prostate cancer prevention by making a donation to The Prostate Cancer Charity. To help, you just need to click this link: http://uk.movember.com/donate/your-details/member_id/764100/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account.
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 how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember, you can visit http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.
Thanks in advance for supporting the ‘stache and the fight against prostate cancer.
