Nick's Movember Crusade


Hi Family,
I'm having a red hot crack at growing a tash and raising some money for Movember!! I make no promises as to the quality of the end result but i can assure you that if my tash is anything short of amazing, it will not be for lack of commitment!! Although officially the rules state you must be clean shaven at the beginning of Movember, I made the conscious decision to cheat.. I have now been warming up for a good month or so, and it currently looks like there is some dirt on my upper lip!! I can also assure you that chicks do not dig seedy mo's as much as they should!! I've attached the details for sponsorship below. It's a good cause so get on board!!

o Depression affects 1 in 6 men...Most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
o Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who die from breast cancer annually.
o Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females.

To sponsor my Mo please go to http://www.movember.com/au/donate, enter my registration number which is 62487 and your credit card details. Or you can sponsor me by cheque made payable to the "Movember Foundation" clearly marking the donation as being for my Registration Number: 62487. Please mail cheques to: PO Box 292, Prahran VIC 3181. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.

The money raised by Movember is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative, which will use the funds to create awareness, fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and male depression.

And i'll post a pic in the coming weeks

The great crime writer, Mickey Spillaine, wrote 76 books and no character in any of them had a moustache. I heard him interviewed once and he was asked why. His reply was that he didn't know how to spell it. I'll match your $25, Adam, and raise it to $50.
