Q: What is Movember?
A: It's a campaign to help change the face of mens health, by raising awareness of cancer in men.
Q: Why should I care?
A: Because 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and thousands will die from it. Take a look at your family and friends. Do you know 6 different men. Well statistically one of them will have to deal with cancer and could die from it.
Q: Why is it Called Movember?
A: The men that sign up to participate will be growing a mo (moustache) for the entire month of November
Q: So how do I get involved?
A: Go to the Movember website and sign up. Start off November first clean shaven, then grow your mo for the entire month.
Q: What if I'm girl and can't grow a mo?
A: Encourage the men around to you to get involved and grow their mo.
Q: What if I don't like donating to charities because only a portion of the actual money donated goes to the cause?
A: It's not all about the money. It's the awareness that is the most important. The more men that get checked out by a doctor the better. By simply talking about cancer you are helping.
Q: What if I do want to donate to charities because I know that even though only a portion of the money raised is going to the cause every little bit helps.
A: You can donate to the cause through me by going to my MoSpace Page
So what are you waiting for, go get involved. Sign up or donate you decided, but don't do nothing.
Jared,
ReplyDeleteThis is way cool. My good friends husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer just last month, then once that was "fixed" he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He now has been diagnosed with cancer of the blood. He is only 24 years old and they are expecting their first child in January. Thanks for sharing this.
