This is my clean shaven husband Cameron. He is growing a moustache during the month of Movember (formerly known as November!) to raise some funds and awareness about men's health and the fight against male depression and prostate cancer. Why...
- 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 prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who die from breast cancer annually.
- Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females.
To sponsor his Mo please go to http://www.movember.com/au/donate, enter his registration number which is 148454 and your credit card details. Or you can sponsor him by cheque made payable to the "Movember Foundation" clearly marking the donation as being for his Registration Number: 148454. 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.
I will be endeavouring to take some update photos during the month so you can see the progress of his Mo. Watch Cameron change from a mild mannered desk jockey to a freaky biker dude! (no offence to any biker dudes who may be reading this!)
The Movember link will remain in my right hand sidebar during the month of Movember in case you want to come back and sponsor him later in the month.
Thank you for your support.
