Hey there guys,
sorry to intrude, but i am trying to raise money for my DF.
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) DF is growing a Mo and I'm helping him raise funds and awareness because I'm into guys tackling their own health issues by being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer. I also love moustaches.
You can donate to his moustache by either:

Clicking the link in my sig and donating online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
Writing a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation', referencing his Registration Number 1600796 and mailing it to:
Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181
Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative. The PCFA and beyondblue will use the funds to fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and depression.

Did you know...

Depression affects 1 in 6 men....most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who will die from breast cancer annually.

Hi There,

I'm going to allow this post because I think the cause is excellent AND blokes are to blokey to get/ask for help.

I encourage all our Dad's to make sure they are around for a loooooooong time because while you can raise kids on your own taking a simple test to prevent leaving your partner in that situation seems little too ask!

Have a great Movember

Regards
BBB
