Doctor Mo - Platinum Citizen of Movember

Movember Platinum Class Citizenship is awarded to any Mo Bro or Mo Sista who receives sponsorships of $1,000.00 or more. I am extremely pleased to tell you that rookie Jonathan Sam who, by the way, is our Mystery Mo Grower pictured in the last post, has now raised $1,150.00 which makes him a Platinum class Movember Citizen. Well done, Jon.

Jonathan or should I say, Doctor Sam, as he is known to the children at BC Kids, copied me on a "Half-way Movember Update!" email that he sent to his friends and supporters. Here is an extract. I believe it really captures the spirit of Movember.

Thank you so much for everyone’s overwhelming support!  


I can’t believe the progress that we’ve already made and it’s only half-way through Movember.  We’re currently sitting at $995 and on the verge of reaching the $1000 goal.  


Dr Mo - Jonathan Sam
The mo’s been tremendous at generating discussion about prostate cancer at work and with friends.  I know only half of you have prostates, but prostate cancer is COMMON.  Unfortunately, men have a tendency to neglect and not discuss their health problems.  Movember changes all that by publicly acknowledging that it is a concern, supporting men who are struggling with prostate cancer, reminding the rest to discuss these issues with their docs, and raising funds for research as well.


A very sincere thank you for being a part of the solution,
Jonathan Sam
