Movember

For those who don't know, Movember is "an annual charity event held during November" that "aims to change these attitudes...that they have to be tough - "a real man" - and not see a doctor about an illness or go for regular medical checks...and make men's health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of fashion, and in the process raise some serious funds for key men's health issues."
I did it last year:




I know - a bit pathetic when you see the other blokes' efforts!





Anyway, in 2007 the organisation raised AUS$16.2 million! That's incredible, but really only a small start when you consider prostate cancer is now the most diagnosed cancer in Australia (ahead of skin cancer...in Australia...That's just crazy). Check out how the organisation used the funds here.
Movember is coming up again so for all those reading this blog please consider either Mo'ing up or supporting someone else as a MoBro or MoSista in their quest.
