This November, in support of the Movember campaign around men's health, I am growing a moustache. Yes, it is itchy. Yes, even a little scratchy. And maybe slightly embarrassing. The good thing is, that I am not alone. I am joined in this endeavour by a team of like-minded "mo bros" led ably by our furry captain, Jye Smith.
All donations go towards research into depression and prostate cancer -- and they are tax deductible.
How Mo Can You Go? on 12seconds.tv
Please remember, ONE in SIX men are affected by depression at some point in their lives, and over 2900 Australian men die of prostate cancer each year. These are men like your brother, father, uncle and best friends. Even a donation of $2 will help make a difference.
A couple of days ago someone asked my why I shaved when they thought I was doing Movember.
I hadn't shaved.
You on the other seem, seem to have grown a commendable effort.

If you want to see scary Movember efforts go no further than Gordon Whitehead aka The Marketer. He looks like the rejected member of the Village People. And I have to see him for a month!!!!
