Half way through the month of Movember

"Size does matter," says Andrew

Michele - a palpable, respectable mo by any standards

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
  • I have friends who have been treated for prostate cancer
  • I, myself, have a small, slow-growing, cancer of the prostate.
I invite you, please, to support this cause in as many of the following ways as possible:
  • Can you talk about Movember with colleagues, family and friends? This will further one of the primary aims of Movember which is to raise awareness of men's health issues - prostate cancer in particular but by no means limited to that.
  • Can you encourage colleagues, friends and family to get on the Internet and have a look at the Mo StashedHairiers' blog? http://mostashedhairiers.blogspot.com/. In addition to team "news" there are also some pages on prostate cancer and men's health in general which are "easy" reads.
  • Finally, but not least, can you make a donation to Prostate Cancer Canada and the Movember Foundation by sponsoring our team using one of the links on the right hand side of this blog?
