Movember

Starts today!!

 

Please sponsor me and follow my progress @ Movember United Kingdom - Home

 

For those of you who don't know the story. I tend to grow a moustache, and only a moustache, for the whole of November to raise awareness of mens testicular cancer.

 

Testicular cancer primarily affects younger men and is the most common form of cancer in men aged between 15 and 44.

 

Testicular cancer is still quite rare, with nearly 2,000 new cases a year in the UK.

 

Since 1975, the incidence of testicular cancer has more than doubled - and the reasons for this are not yet known.

 

Thanks to advances made at the Everyman Centre testicular cancer is, with treatment, 97% curable. And that figure rises to 99% curable if it's caught in the early stages.

 

Testicular cancer causes around 70 deaths every year in the UK.

Oh yes. As soon as 'progress is made!'.

Loving the Edugeek logo at the mo.... (see what I did there?!)

[featured_spectre]

I thought it was no shaving...at all...throughout november???

[sippo]

No upper lip, hence why it's called Movember.

 

Mo is slang for moustache.

[TechMonkey]

Ohh me too. Went for the psycho trucker last year, attempting the handlebar this year. Don't think there is enough time though.

I may have read about this in this month's issue of Cosmo. It's not mine, honest. It's the missus. She forced me to read it. Honestly

[GrumbleDook]

I'll be refraining from any trimmage of the goatie and 'tache.

[GrumbleDook]

I anyone doing this as a team? If not then Team MoGeek might be an idea.

I,ve signed up. The OH is going to sponsor me, but on the condition that I shave it off immediately Movember is over!

[witch]

well, i would join.....but

mrwITch has the full face furry animal going on already

[GrumbleDook]

Being well placed in the facial hair stakes I am trying to work out my options. It seems a tad silly to remove it all ...

 

I have the options of no shaving at all so to go for the Sea-Sick Steve look http://www.seasicksteve.com/pics/images/10.jpg

 

Or perhaps trim the sides of the goatie off to give me something a little more striking

Or trim it back close then let it grow.

 

Ideas are appreciated.

Looks like I will be going a little Fawkes-like then ... Photos tomorrow (or people going to the MS event tomorrow can see it in person!)

Ahhh it's for charity, as long as the money goes to the right place there are no rules :-D

[sippo]

But it's all about the Mo

[Fatmas]

Mo hair, mo problems

[GrumbleDook]

The Fawkes is the look ... with seeing how close to the finely woven handlebar I get.
