Movember - Prostate Cancer Fundraiser

Hey guys! So for those of you that got my emails, this is pretty much the same message. I'm basically going to be growing a Moustache(sp?) to raise awareness about the leading cancer in men, Prostate Cancer. It is a fairly taboo subject to most men as the check up is fairly, I guess the best way to put it, invasive :) (Doctor puts finger in your bum).

But, its a tough pill to swallow. As you all know, best way to cure cancer (and there are millions out there that have been curied) is early detection. So I hope all of you out there can help pledge any amount. $1 or $1million, any amount helps this great cause.

For those making donations of $20 or more, a charitable tax receipt is issued.

Thanks again guys for your help. If there are any other Assyrian Men out here that wish to participate in this, let me know! We can form a team and who knows, maybe throw a fundraiser party for it. I'm already planning a small thing for myself.

Here's the generic email we send out for people that wish to donate! Thanks guys!

(Ashoor. If possible, can we sticky this? At least for 2 weeks. Thanks)

Hi,

This Movember, the month formerly known as November I?ve decided to donate my face to raising awareness about prostate cancer.  My donation and commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter.

I?m doing this because 4,400 men die of prostate cancer in Canada each year and one in six men will be diagnosed during his lifetime.
This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I?m asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to Prostate Cancer Canada.

To help, you can either:

*  Click this link http://ca.movember.com/mospace/638784/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
* Write a cheque payable to Prostate Cancer Canada, referencing my name or Registration Number 638784 and mailing it to: Prostate Cancer Canada, Suite 306 145 Front Street East, Toronto, ON M5A 1E3, Canada.  

All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please visit: http://ca.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.

Thank you in advance for helping me to support men?s health.


 
OK so I forgot to add, if you check my Movember page, you will see updated pictures of my 'stash! Here's what I look like now and as of Nov 1, my beard is gone!
