Following is the essential text of emails that I have sent to friends, family and business associates. I should stress that only one of the three ways of supporting my Movember effort is financial. If you can just talk about Movember with family and friends that is already a big win for raising awareness of the issues around men's health.
As a prostate cancer survivor I am extremely appreciative of modern medical technology in a first-world country like Canada, but I'm also acutely aware that too many men are dying too young of preventable causes even though medical science is making discoveries and breakthroughs as we speak.
I invite you please to support me in one or more of the following ways, only the last of which is financial:
- 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 and testicular cancer in particular but also men's health generally, importantly including mental health.
- Can you encourage friends and family to get on the Internet and have a look at the Mo Stashed Hairiers' 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 consider making a donation to the causes supported by Movember by sponsoring me or one of my team? You can find donations links from the Mo Stashed Hairiers' blog or you can click on this link to my personal Movember "Mo Space" donations page. http://mobro.co/TerryMcCann
Donations above $10 are tax deductible in Canada. Any donation of any amount, even the smallest, will be welcomed; it all adds up.
Thank you in advance for supporting our team's efforts to change the face of men's health.
We have some updated photos.
