MO VEMBER
« on: November 18, 2011, 11:50:07 AM »
After a visit from our farrier this week giving me a laugh, he looked like chopper reid armed with a file.
Thought I'd ask if anyone has taken the opportunity  to grow a mo or beard for the month.

Hey Guy's,

I am doing Movember for the 3rd time this year. I work in health (Defence) and our team is called the "Hairy Health Dudes".

Donate to me or my team here:

http://mobro.co/TerryEvans

I've organised a sausage sizzle at work next friday to raise more $$.

Great cause !

Although I am not sure why they have started calling me Giuseppe (?) !!

Time to bumpity bump this one up to the top ....... still 5 more days to go of fabulous MOgrowing pleasure!  The donations have been a bit slow coming in this year (thank you  to the forum members who have sponsored me!) But now Im putting on a big push to raise some more money for the Movember foundation.  Quite simply Gents, this charity exists to support YOUR HEALTH!  The movember foundation has not only donated money to cancer research, and research into mens health issues, but has also been a major backer in getting behind the opening of many MENS SHEDS around Australia. These places give men (yound and old) somewhere to congregate, leanr new skills (or polish up old ones) and have a chat about all things "blokey". Sometimes this can be the difference between loneliness and depression , and living well.

Please please please open your wallets folks and give generously to this cause. If not to me then one of you work collegues, friends, relatives, etc etc.

And remember for the month of MOvember my darling wife has REFUSED to kiss me! That itself deserves a donation!

Cheers Chippy :D

I am thinking about it but it has been years since I got rid of the goatee so it is a big call.

Yep, it's the same every year ... even here at work.  No-one gives two hooters about Boob-Tober, but when Mo-Vember rolls around all the blokes are on the band wagon.  Our trucks even have Mo's (right now) which is a bit disappointing since I suggest Boobs for them for Boob-Tober and got laughed at.  We gals had a morning tea and forced the boys to wear pink   ;D ha ha ... but we raised over $250 ... not bad since we are only 12% of the population here at work.  I reckon they'll get a shock when they see us with Mo's for a day!

If anyone wants to throw in a few bucks for my effort shoot me a PM and I'll give you the link to my page.
Do not PM me for technical advice - start a thread.

Yep Im doing it again this year!
And as usual, I will be going for a whole month with out a kiss from my darling wife.

To the blokes who always say "My wife wont let me do it"

I say MAN UP! Im sure your wife wouldnt like you dying from prostate cancer or suffering from the long term effects of severe depression. MOvember is a great initiative that assists in funding for reasearch, and programs to help combate the spread of both of these "diseases".

So for those of you who want to contribute my donation page is

http://mobro.co/ToddBrown

This year Im going to download a photo a day for the whole month to track my progress.
Please donate ... it is such a worthy cause!

Cheers Chippy :D
