Alright folks, some of you may already be aware of the glorious month of Movember but for those of you that aren't.....(cue usual email waffle cut and pasted directly)

I am growing a moustache this year for Movember. I have decided to put down my razor for one month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men's health - specifically prostate cancer.

What many people don't appreciate is that one man dies every hour of prostate cancer in the UK, more than 35,000 men will be diagnosed this year and that prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me.

To donate to my Mo, you can either:

* Click this link http://uk.movember.com/mospace/437908/ and donate online using your credit card, debit card or PayPal account

* Write a cheque payable to 'The Prostate Cancer Charity - Movember', referencing my Registration Number 437908 and mailing it to: Movember - The Prostate Cancer Charity, First Floor, Cambridge House, Cambridge Grove, London, W6 0LE.

Movember is now in its third year here in the UK and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Charity. Check out further details at: http://uk.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.

If you are interested in following the progress of my Mo, click here http://uk.movember.com/mospace/437908/. Also, http://uk.movember.com has heaps of useful information.

Thank you


So as you can guess from the above I am currently rocking an awesome handlebar moustache and I am looking for sponsors to donate to charity for this great month that we find ourselves in. All the instructions are above and I will be posting a photo onto my page tonight for those of you who need proof of how glorious this tasche is.

Dig deep people, the worlds men/moustaches need you!

No I don't get money, it's for charity (Prostate Cancer) so it's for a good cause. I suppose you're technically correct but it's obviously more than *just* that :p

I stopped shaving at the beginning of the month. Been told I look absolutely preposterous. Should probably sign up to the site though... so that I can actually prove it's for a worthy cause instead of just claiming! :p

Just look at that tache.

Also Rob, pictures of this handlebar!

There's a picture on my Mospace.... http://uk.movember.com/mospace/437908/

Seriously tho it is for a good cause so anyone who feels they can donate anything it would be much appreciated. Also my work will be matching any money that we raise so whatever you give effectively the charity will get double that. Come on people dig deep and support the Mo and the fight against prostate cancer
