Movember (prostate cancer awareness) -- Join my team -- or make a donation ;-)

[Kyle.Gilmour]

Hi All,

Sorry for the late notice with this getting this thread out, but it is never too late to help make a difference.

So with that… I am participating in Movember... a fundraiser for Mens Health awareness


Movember is an annual fundraiser to fund research for common men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer. During the month of November, individuals sponsor participants to let their mustache grow all month long. This event started in Australia in the late 90s and has gone global over the years, raising more than $174 million to support research for cures and treatment of critical male diseases, Not a bad way to raise money for a great cause!

This is my first year participating in Movember and I would like to pass on the word to others who may want to join my team or make a donation. I do not know anyone personally who has suffered from any male-specific cancers, but still feel that I should make my attempt to raise awareness for prostate cancer and raise money for the Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) & LiveStrong.

I have started a team, “SFS – Staches for Survival” and would love to add a few more team members, especially from this Camaro site... back to our roots.. haha, and so I am not the only one walking around with a young mustache, haha. If you would like to join the Staches for Survival team or make a tax deductible donation to me or any of my team members, please visit this link: http://mobro.co/SFS

… and remember… no shaving….

Thank you again for listening (let me know if you have any questions), and I’m excited to see some staches next week!

I will be posting regular updates of the Stache on Facebook and on my Mobro page. If I get some of you guys interested, I will post them up in here as well... thanks all.

Disclaimer: I understand it is already November 3rd and today was the 3rd day of no shaving, but still please feel free to join.
We will not tell anyone if you started a day or two late.. Promise.

I kinda feel bad cause I had already started growing the 'stache before I joined the team. But honestly, if I hadn't started early, by the time November 30th rolls around, no one would think I was participating

Do we just make a donation if we don't grow a mustache.... or how does it work... I'm in to help...

My brother in law is just recovering from a 2.5 year battle with prostate cancer, during which it was determined that he probably would not survive any longer three times... While his life is drastically changed... he is still alive and doing very well...

well, I haven't shaved all week.... so I think I got a head start . Gotta shave for work though..... Does not shaving on off days count? I can grow a beard in a few hours

I'm in, but I've had a mustache since ~1990... can I keep it trimmed so I don't hafta eat it?

If a trustworthy moderator was willing, could we do a paypal account and have one pot for everyone to pitch in?

.....AAAAnd for the ladies that clicked the link after expressly being told NOT to... (my guess would be every one of them ).....Feel free to join in, but NO mustaches!

Bump!

Can't keep my facial hair too long... invariably I have to shave depending on who I may be visiting.

But I can make a donation.

I basically only use my paypal account for buying/selling parts here on camaro5. I'm fine with giving my account info out if people want to set something up. And no I'm not going to use the money to buy a whipple.

My DAD was 50 when he died of prostate cancer 9 yrs ago. This is the first year I let a handle bar mustache grow in memory of him and because of the look of a handle bar being noticed, hope to bring more awareness to the disease.
In Canada, 20% of funds go to actually trying to find a cure while the rest goes in someones pocket!! Therefore, I don't make donations to cancer research for that purpose. But, If we all just suck it up and get checked yearly...it just could save many more dads, brothers, husbands, etc. A finger up the rear is better than having your family mourn you. My dad left us 3 boys. I was 29 when he died and my youngest brother was 24. He is a different guy today without DAD.:( We all are. Being the oldest, I kind of took his place. But nobody beats good old dad!!
