Hi everyone :)


Movember is well underway and we are past the half-way mark! Shave off events are eagerly awaited by our Mo'Bros who have suffered through all sorts of mo-mishaps over the last 19 days.  For those of you that have participated, I thank you and ask you to make the next 11 days really count and reach out to your friends and families for those last minute donations.  

For the rest of you, I am making this final push on behalf of all of our teams to request that you reach into your pockets and make a donation, regardless of how big or small, to the Movember effort.  I realize how difficult this is at this time of the year,  but should you find a dollar or two - we would greatly appreciate your donation :) 

The amount isn’t important, every little bit helps Movember continue its funding of world-class programs.  If you want to know more about what you’ll be helping to fund, you can visit Funding Overview.


We have four teams you can donate to and the links are:



To highlight the importance of what we are doing, take a look at these statistics:

  • 1 in 2 men, and 1 in 3 women, will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
  • 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime.
  • Over 238,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed and almost 30,000 men will die of prostate cancer in 2013.
  • Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in males between the ages of 15 and 35.
  • 7,920 men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer and 370 will die in 2013.
  • While not as common, men can get breast cancer. About 2,240 new cases of breast cancer will be diagnosed among men and about 410 men will die from the disease in 2013.
  • More than 3.5 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year.
  • Over 6 million men are diagnosed with depression each year.
  • Almost four times as many males as females die by suicide.
  • 24% of men are less likely to go to the doctor compared to women.
