Movember

Saturday, 22 November 2008
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.

Cleanshaven for Movember 1st

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) my hubby, James 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

A week in... 2nd Pic for Movember

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.

This is for such an important issue that many men don't talk about!

Thank-you for taking the time to read this, and thanks also for your donations to these causes.
