ok folks.
it's that time of year. the time all men love, and all women hate.
it's movember.
so, yet again, i opened the floor up to some of my favourite men in the world, to prove to my why i should donate to them.
why do i do it? i reiterate.
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 beginning of movember was australia in 2003 - a few guys sitting around, drinking beer, decided that bringing back the old burt reynolds would be fantastic, and if they could somhow combine that with the missing link of fundraisers for men's health, it would be a hand in hand victory for mankind. "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."
last year, i donated to my dear friends graham, ben, and cole - and a latecomer, luke.
and this year was no less entertaining.
through a series of shoutouts, i received various reasons from various people. these were the top 3.
cole - yet again, cole came out on top. his daily underwear photos, his witty moustache and pantsless jokes...
coles reason? "If for no other reason than I may have coined the term: .donate to this swarthy cause'. And because I once mistakenly called you a "prostate," thinking it was a cuter version of prostitute."
good enough for me. donate to cole here
jake - jake's always looking for a good reason to make a corny joke... and is always managing to do good things for this world. what a great double duty.
jake's reason? "Jamie, you should sponsor me because I aim to find a happy, mustache medium between this and this"
well jake - you know me well (you BETTER!).
donate to jake here.
eric was a newcomer to the game. i work with eric, and couldn't help but notice the giant blond caterpillar on his upper lip. disgusting, really. his plea? more on the serious side of things... which i can jive with. eric's reason? "why am I so passionate about men's health? on average men live 4-5 years less than women; 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime; 25,500 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year in canada"
deal. done. donate to eric here.
It's the least I can do, to spread their word. And please - donate to this worthy cause.
if you're upset that you can't grow a stache, or one of the many ladies who just can't..... grab your own ready made moustahces at the drake general store.
