First of all a special thanks to the Admin team for allowing me to place this post on ClubCJ.

Movember is about raising funds and awareness for men's health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men. Close to 3,300 men die of prostate cancer in Australia each year.
 
One of which was a man I respected a great deal and for that reason I will again be supporting the growing club of modern gentlemen who believe in the virtues of fine moustachery, immaculate grooming and growing a moustache for Movember (well trying).

If you too know of someone that has been affected by prostate cancer or depression I urge you to donate by clicking on this link or making contact with me.
 
http://au.movember.com/mospace/40345/ (You can use a credit card or pay pal).
 
For more details on the impact Movember is having please visit: http://au.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.
 
Together we can change the face of men’s health and help positively impact those that need the help!

I'll be posting some pics of my mo throughout the month. Please keep mind I'm not the hairiest guy around but I'm doing it for the right reasons!

Thank you so much Doreen, it's great to have your support (but not for my mo :P)

If you follow the first link in the first post you will be redirected to the Mo'vember website. I know there are dodgy charities out there and would like to keep this crystal clear for all involved.

The link is related to my membership to the fellowship of mo'bros but will tally as an individual result for us all to see :)

Hi Chris
I support whole heartedly your efforts in Movember to make a difference
As a sufferer of depression I can tell you it is no picnic,and a very debilatating condition if left untreated
Good on you mate for standing up to be counted, it's great to see a friend getting involved for the greater good
Well done and keep up the good work mate
Respect to you Paggsy!
Regards Chris (Mizta B) :D
