It's Movember

Hi All,

I am taking part in Movember this year to raise money for some pretty important charities. For those who don't know what it is I have to grow a moustache throughout November to help raise sponsorship which go to prostate cancer charities.

I pretty passionate about this as I had my own battle with a blood cancer last year at the age of only 29. If you feel like sponsoring me that would be great:

I promise to post a before and after photograph on December the 1st!

Dave

We did it at work last year. I was Mr. Movember for money raised and growth. This year at a different place, we are not doing it and I did not get organised to do it myself.

I'm doing it too and I'm going for 'the trucker.'
We'll have to wait and see how it turns out.
Hope you're doing well now Dave. My Dad has just has a rather unpleasant brush with prostate cancer so its quite close to my heart too.

Im doing fine now thanks

I am 6 months all clear now and getting back to a normal life. I had Hodgkins Lymphoma which meant 6 months of chemo which was not fun but its all in the past now. What ever money I can raise to help other people in the same situation is well worth it. Hope you dad is ok

Glad to hear you're doing well Dave.
Thankfully my Dad is doing well too.

Tash is a bit slow to get going though. Still, plenty of time to go.

Glad to hear it, my 'Biker' style effort needs work but by November 30th it will be epic and probably a bit itchy!

Well done Dave, Robert and Jediboy, a really great cause. I've just got out of hospital after a small prostate problem, so I would like to encourage more people to make the men in their lives aware of the problems that this charity is trying to highlight.

I've stuck a small contribution into Dave and Robert's Mo donations account, Jediboy are you Chris Johnson? (or could you let me know what your Mo Account is please).

Regards

Nick
