Mo-vember


Friends and family,Thank you for the generous outpouring of support for my Mo-vember campaign! In the first two weeks, I raised over $150. Although this is a great start, there is still much work to be done in this final week. Due to the large international presence on my project, the competition between Australia, US, Canada, Italy, Germany, etc has really intensified. I'm not far behind in the total tally, so please help me out! When considering your donation, think about the following:

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


I know this money goes to Australian charities, but they need our US-grown generocity as well. I've attached another picture [sorry last week's didn't come through] so you can see the progress of my 'mo'. We really need to kick-it into high gear this week. Just before you sit down with friends and family for Thanksgiving dinner, remember to give thanks to Sean's mo. Many thanks for your support and best wishes for the upcoming holidays!

To donate to my Mo, click this link https://www.movember.com/au/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=2084737&country=au and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account.
P.S. 'Mo' refers to mustache and NOT mohawk. I know the spelling is funky, but this is Australia ;-)
The money raised by Movember helps raise awareness of men's health issues and is donated to two great causes - 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.

Sean,

I tried to vote for your "Mo"...but none of the selections listed the GEICO Caveman style. Regardless...my "Mo-nation" ($$$)is on the way...just as soon as Deb allows me access to the credit cards. Roar Lions ROAR...Rose Bowl bound... Bing.

How come "handlebar" is not an option on the poll?
