It’s that time of year again… Movember; and once again all this month I’m growing (as best as I can) a mustache to help raise awareness of men’s health issues and to fight prostate cancer. If you can, please donate to the cause.
What is Movember?
What many people don’t know is that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 18-35.
So, during Movember (the month formerly known as November) I am growing a mustache to show support. The funds raised go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LIVESTRONG).
