I got an amazing email a couple days ago from my friend Justin. (I've included it below.) But seriously MOVEMBER! That's so awesome, and for an great cause.

Hi All,
As many of you know during Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'm growing a Moustache. It's a fund raiser for charity which promotes men's health awareness and supports prostate cancer research. Most of the men in our office are supporting the cause and it looks like the 70's around here. If you would like to sponsor me in the fight against prostate cancer your donations would be very much appreciated.

To donate to my Mo you can either:

Click this link https://www.movember.com/us/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink®o=1794246&country=us and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
Write a check payable to the ‘Prostate Cancer Foundation', referencing my Registration Number 1794246 and mailing it to:
Prostate Cancer Foundation
Attn: Movember
1250 Fourth St
Santa Monica, CA, 90401
All donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.

The money raised by Movember is donated directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation which will use the funds for high-impact research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.

Did you know:

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the US with one in six American men developing the disease and more than 28,000 men dying of the disease every year.
African American men and those with a family history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease and should have regular annual testing starting at 45. All other men should commence testing at 50.
Prostate cancer is 90% curable if detected and treated early.
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 ].

Movember culminates at the end of month Gala Partés. If you would like to be part of this great night you'll need to purchase a [ Gala Parté Ticket ].

Thanks for your support,
Justin
