The 30 days of Movember - Humble Beginnings

Sometimes a man’s gotta do, what a man’s gotta do. Thus I’m now embarking on my very own mo-growing adventure. Underneath is the pre-packaged spiel for you, explaining what the mo-vement is all about. But because it’s a good cause, I’m asking you, the GeoffRe(y)port reading public to sponsor the GeoffMo. I’ve had a tiny bit of a headstart - owing to the fact that I grow facial hair at a similar growth rate to that of stalactites, but as you can see, there’s plenty of room for moustache improvement.

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’ll be growin a moustache. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about changing the state of men’s health.

Male health is a major issue, did you know:

1. Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 6 years less than females.
2. Every year in Australia 2,700 men die of prostate cancer – more than the number of women who die from breast cancer.
3. Depression affects 1 in 6 men…Most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. Rates of suicide are more than double the national road toll.

Help me change the face of men’s health by sponsoring my mo.

Please go to http://www.movember.com.au/au/sponsor, enter my Rego number which is 23069 and your credit card details. All donations of $2 and over are tax deductible.

The money raised by Movember will be used to change the face of men’s health by creating awareness and funding research into prostate cancer and male depression.

So go on and support mens health in this country, it could certainly do with the funds, and I’ll keep you updated on the mo progress.
