To help promote the fight against cancer, I'm joining the growing club of modern gentlemen who believe in the virtues of fine moustachery and growing a moustache for Movember. The Mo (slang for moustache) becomes the pink ribbon for mens health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for cancers that affect men. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.
Movember is about raising funds and awareness for men's health, specifically cancer affecting men, because:
- 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime
- 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime
- my mother and grandfather were diagnosed with cancer
The more people I can get on board, the more lives we can impact. I am asking you to either make a donation or grow a moustache as a Mo Bro (or join as a Mo Sista to help recruit other gentlemen)... or both. The name of our team is "Stache Yo Kids, Stache Yo Wife" and to make a donation go to Movember United States - Donate and enter my name (Steve Puett). We are having an internal competition so I would sincerely appreciate any support you might be able to offer (seriously... no amount is too small).
Or, to join the Movember movement go to Movember United States - Home and follow the steps to get more information or create your own team.
If you're interested in learning more about the work that is being carried out as a result of Movember funds, feel free to read the details at Movember Foundation United States - Research & Programs. The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The plan was simple to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for mens health. I would like to encourage every member of VolNation to get involved in this cause.
