Default November is MOvember! - Help raise money for Prostate Cancer

I hope this is ok in here and would love it to be a sticky if possible and there's not too many things going on already?
I'm not asking for money or donations! [that's up to you!] and I don't normally like posting these things, but MOvember is fairly new in this country and there are lots of males on here that may want to be part of it
This November I've decided to get hairy and grow a moustache for MOvember.

I want to be an active participant in the movement that is changing the face of men's health. I'm also committed to tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate cancer...and I want you all on our team.

Basically throughout the month of November, you grow a Mo! [moustache]. You're not allowed a beard [except a tiny ticklet if you prefer] but your moustache can be as handlebar or Hitler as you like. Before and After pictures are a necessity!

The full rules are available on the website link below!

Our team is called the MO FOs.

To join the MO FOs team go to http://uk.movember.com/uk/register and follow the steps. Once registered you'll be sent all the information you need to get donations and get growing as part of our Movember team.

You will need these details to complete your online registration:Men's health is a major issue. Did you know:
  • Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. 35,000 men are diagnosed every year and one man dies every hour.
  • 1 in 11 UK men will be diagnosed in their lifetime .
The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to The Prostate Cancer Charity which will have an enormous impact on many men's lives and the awareness will help us to fight prostate cancer on every front - through research, support, information and campaigning.

For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at:
[ Fundraising Outcomes ].

IF YOU WANT TO TAKE PART, PLEASE DO NOT FEEL YOU HAVE TO JOIN MY TEAM!

IT IS EASY TO START YOUR OWN AND I WOULD PREFER PEOPLE TOOK PART IF THEY COULD, IN WHATEVER WAY THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE!

As sais above, I'm not asking for money or sponsorship from anyone here! It would be brilliant if people joined in themselves and just tried to get their close family and friends to donate

I cant understand it, I normally shave every other day, the mo just seems to have stopped and everything is racing ahead! Lol at mascara! The bottom half of my face grows ginger for some reason when it reaches a certain length, got a big night out on the 21st with the boys so getting prepared for a right good piss taking all night! Think its gonna be Flares all night for me, fit in a treat in their!!! Ive raised a couple of hundred quid so its all good.
