I have great friends. Friends who put up with my attempts to raise money for issues that mean something to me. Friends who show up to parties, garage sales, and support me in any other way that they know how.
So when the oppourtunity arises for me to support these friends myself, I will do what I can, within my means, to help them.
Movember is the new November - where men start with a clean shaven face, and grow a moustache for the entire month. The 'stache serves as a sort of 'pink ribbon' for mens health, and more specifically prostate cancer (which is where the raised funds go).
The origins of movember are in australia in 2003 - where a few guys sitting around, drinking beer wanted to bring back the 'stache (as a joke), and do something for men's health. "Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement."
This year, I asked my friends via facebook to tell me why I should donate to them. In my adventures, I hated asking people for money… and if I have money to give, I want to hear why I should give it to them. I have a good friend who was disagnosed with prostate cancer at age 22 - this is an issue that is near and dear to me.
So - this is what I got in return…
Graham Moraca: "Go check out my profile. It will put a smile on your face"
- for the ladies who can't grow them... the drake general store has us covered
- do you like t shirts and prints? me too. get some here. because they're kick ass
- my poor future man friend/husband/life partner... he's going to have so many pairs of cufflinks, he won't know what to do with himself. because i love them. and cufflinks with moustaches are that much better.
- we all know how much i love jewelry. but a necklace, with a moustache, that reminds me of freddie mercury? c'mon. it can't be. but it IS!
