What's a MoBro?

It's Movember, the month formerly known as November, which I've dedicated to growing a MOustache with a hint of Mullet (trying something new this year) in an attempt to raise awareness (and funds) for men's health research. I have joined the MOvement, yet again this year, to protect my follow MoBro’s… one prostate at a time.



"Maybe I missed the memo; What's a MoBro?"


If you don’t know, you ain't my bro!


It means for the next 30 days I will be donating my upper lip to my sponsors! Aside from causing nightmares to any small child that comes in contact with it; my MO will spark conversations, turn heads in the gym, be the cause of at least 3 car accidents (all none fatal of course) and generate more then a few abdominal muscles from all the laugher it will bring (reminder: laugh WITH me, not AT me… no one likes a bully); all in the name of raising vital awareness (and funds) for prostate cancer research.


"Is prostate cancer even that big of a deal?"

Well considering;


* On average men live 4-5 years less than women


* 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime


* 25,500 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year in Canada


Mo or no Mo; If you know at least 7 "Bro's" I urge you to show your support by donating to my MoTeam at http://mobro.co/MrMullvember. If you are not comfortable with making payments online, you can still do things the old-fashioned way and write a cheque payable to "Movember Canada", reference my name, Registration Number 606882 and send it to: Movember Canada, 119 Spadina Avenue, PO Box 65, Toronto, ON M5T 2T2… As always; all donations are tax deductible.


"How do I know my money is going to the cause and not some weird Moustache support group?"

Go ahead Call My Bluff; visit the Movember website: http://ca.movember.com/about click on the "Programs We Fund" section and try not to let the types of work you'd be helping to fund go to your head. No one likes a cocky Bro… no matter how sweet your Mo.


Thank you in advance for supporting my efforts to change the face of men's health… one prostate at a time.


So in the words of my good friend Napoleon Dynamite;


"How long did it take you to grow that moustache?"
