The mo's are gone but the donations continue. Thank you to:

Canadians can feel proud of their Movember effort. 118,827 registered participants raised $20,057,541 so far. Official end date is December 8. Canadian Rick McCreary of the CIBC Mo'sale Banking team has raised $49,287 so far. No less importantly, he and the Bay Street Network have put a face of respectability on Movember. I think that over the next few years Movember participants will worry less and less about what their customers and bosses will think about their moustaches. I look forward to the time when men will feel the need to be apologetic about NOT having a mo during Movember :-)

We will still be accepting donations for the next few days and I will continue to post any updates.
To the relief of some of the wives and partners the mo's will come off tomorrow if they did not already come off this evening. Thank you to the mo growers and the mo supporters. Being winter coming up 'tis the season to grow back my beard to keep my face warm.
I am planning on putting up a little thank-you tribute later in the week or on the week-end so please do continue to check in. It will be something a little different.

The bar has been raised
I am very pleased to tell you that with our total to date of $4,800 we have now passed last year's total of $4,681.
Many thanks to latest sponsors:
Cathy Boyd
Susana Weiss
John Cariati
Dare we hope to exceed $5,000?
You should know that while Canada still leads the world in donations with $17,135,105, Australia with $16,829,061, is doing an amazing catch-up. The difference is now a mere $306,044.
Although tomorrow, 30 Movember, is the last official day of the mo growing month of Movember and a lot of the moustaches will be gone on Wednesday, we will continue accepting donations for a few days into December. We will also have a wrap-up photo gallery of the out-going Team of 2010.

Inching Closer to Last Year's Figure
Yes! Yes! With $4,549 we have passed $4,500.00
Thank you to our latest sponsors:
May and Adrian Van Mil
Dave and Alicia Burry
Kevin Timmins
Michael Murray
MMM Consulting Structures Team (Kel's brownie fundraiser)
Lucian Acatrinei
Miriam McCann
Gord Heath
Kristin Sim
Our next target is to pass $4,681.00 and beat our last year's total.
Some Reminiscing
I was looking back to our first year of Movember (four years ago) and found this contribution made by our son Stephen who was at Queen's at the time, wondering what his family was going to look like when he got home. He had NEVER seen me without a beard. Our team at the time was the MoCann Terriers. Click on the link to see the YouTube video.
Let Me See That Mo
Mo'stache Styles
Mo Bro Greg Forbes tried these various styles. I hope his wife liked them...

Deliciously Close to $4,000.00
We are on the brink of four thousand dollars. Maybe tomorrow? I am still hoping to break $5,000.00 and so beat our last year figure of $4,681.00.
As always, thanks to our latest sponsors:

Remember, Prostate Cancer Canada (www.prostatecancer.ca) uses the Movember funds for the development of programs related to awareness, public education, advocacy, support of those affected and research into the prevention, detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.
Thank You to the Ladies
I lifted this from the Movember Canada site. I couldn't say it better.
As the age old adage goes, behind every great man, there is often a great woman; and this has absolutely proved to be the case during Movember 2010. As such, we wanted to put a shout out to all of the Mo Sistas who have helped us achieve another record breaking year. Although focussed on men’s health we wouldn’t have had the success we’ve had without women supporting and encouraging the men in their lives to get involved – whether it be a friend, brother, uncle, boyfriend or husband. For some guys, all they need is the go-ahead from their better half and they’re off, but for others a little more encouragement or organizational input is needed with fundraising and end of month celebrations.
So, for all of you who’ve put up with a Movember Mo and all the itchiness that goes with it – thank you. Your support is truly appreciated and absolutely going towards changing the face of men’s health.
