Movember update

In case it slipped your minds, Movember is upon us! *cue menacing organ chord*
A friend of mine, Chris "El Presidente" Moran, has taken up the challenge (as he did last year to much acclaim) and is growing for the cause. I'll try to rustle up a photo for the next post.
Update: Here's one! (Thanks Wendy)









In the meantime, to donate for Chris (and it's the same for someone else - just substitute the names) you can either:
1. Give cold hard cash to Chris Moran (Mo-Bro) or Wendy Irik (Mo-Sista);
2. Donate online using your credit card or PayPal account; or
3. Write a cheque payable to 'Movember Foundation', referencing their Registration Number 2092381 and mail it to:

Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181

Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative. The PCFA and beyondblue will use the funds to fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and depression.

Did you know?

• Depression affects 1 in 6 men....most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide

• Last year in Australia, 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of it - equivalent to the number of women who will die from breast cancer annually.

For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had.
Movember culminates at the end of month Gala Party. If you would like to be part of this great night you'll need to purchase a ticket.
