Mods - sticky?
Thought I would start a thread for those who are doing Movember this year. For those of you who have never heard of it before, below is the objectives of the cause -
The annual Movember campaign - Results we seek to achieve
- Movember will get men to grow moustaches and the community to support them by creating an innovative, fun and engaging annual Movember campaign, that results in:
Funding for the Movember Foundation’s men’s health programs
Conversations about men’s health that lead to:
Awareness and understanding of the health risks men face
Men taking action to remain well
Prostate and Testicular Cancer - Results we seek to achieve
- Men living with prostate or testicular cancer have the treatment and care needed to be physically and mentally well
Mental Health - Results we seek to achieve
- Men and boys are mentally healthy and take action to remain so
When men and boys experience mental health problems they take action early
Men and boys with mental health problems are not discriminated against

I done this a couple of years ago...what I liked is that they have minimum overheads so most of the money goes to the cause and not absorbed by the organisation...I think there financial report was on there web site

I don't grow a great Mo either, and the last time I did I was told "don't get on the plane looking like that" so I guess it's a donation for me as well ;D , good on you Symon :cup:
Cheers

Well done, this is my 12th year doing this also 8)

Not being able to grow,
Is really you saying no
Next year why not give it a go
And grow a mo & be a mo bro
The first year I did it 2 weeks we had a visitor from head office and at the end they asked why I wasn't participating when all the other were, problem was I was and even cheated by starting a week early. I just made a comment about being further evolved then the rest of the Neanderthals
Year 5 for me.

Love ya work Symon - I've been doing Movember for about 5 years now. Got a mate who got a dose of the dreaded "black dog" and a few who went that one step too far :(
So in the name of those lost mates and my mate who's doing an incredible job dealing with it daily that has me participate every year.
-
I done Movember a few years ago. I must say only one month to grow a mo wasnt enough for me, breaking 3 vertabrae and growing a beard for 3 months suited me much better (which I will be shaving off soon to raise some $$ for the RFDS)
-
Today brings this to a perspective I did not want to face. A good mate, my mums husband and a great bloke was taken way too early from us today by the dreaded C.
The company that I work for are having a go, so dig deep and donate to a good cause.

I may not get a kiss from the wife or the kids but thats worth it in the end.
To Denis, I hope the pain has ended and may the cows grow fat and heathly where you now reside.

So the hairy month is almost over, its been a little different with the carpet over the top lip and the cause has raised some great funds. I would like to say thank you to all that have contributed and there is still time to add to the effort no matter how small. I will post up a pic soon of the finished result.

In a company meeting this afternoon I was able to take out the Mo of the company, a great bit of fun with the boys and the ladies as judges.

I grew one but was abducted and made to make 'movies'.

This was my contribution a few years ago. Organised a car show at the workshop. Ended up taking over the street ;D
http://youtu.be/0dvsaw9nEmo (http://youtu.be/0dvsaw9nEmo) (only video I can find on the event. Bit boring, but gives you an idea. )
Was gold coin donation for entry, $10 if you wanted your car judged. That judging fee was was thrown into a kitty, with the winner taking half, the other half to PCFA. The fella who won it, took $80 out for fuel, then tossed the rest back in. Top fella that one.
The band played for free, prizes, money and product were donated. Raised several thousand for PCFA. We ended up out of pocket a couple of hundred, simply because I couldn't find a beer sponsor ;D Band, volunteers etc, all rewarded with beer.
Ended up with thousands of people turn up for the day.
