The month formally known as November has now become "Movember" and it's almost over! My newly sprouted growth will thankfully come off on the first morning of December.
The "trucker"and "soul patch" have almost taken on a life of their own. The reaction of our motel guests has been extremely supportive and positive. It's a beautiful man moment when a fellow Mo-bro gives a nod and a wry grin in salute.
Movember is a great fundraiser. It's about men having fun, celebrating manliness and breaking the ice to talk man to man about men's health issues. The funds raised will go to two beneficiaries:
- The Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand will use the funds raised by Movember for their "Out of the Blue" campaign to encourage men to take action, provide men with information to know what they can do for themselves and where they might go for help when experiencing depression.
- The Cancer Society of New Zealand will use the funds raised by Movember to research into the causes, detection, diagnosis and improved treatment of prostate cancer. They will also raise community awareness of issues affecting men's health and provide support services for those affected with cancer.
I urge you to show your support. To donate click here
