So, it's November. And to the uninitiated, that means...
MOVEMBER.
So what is Movember? It's an online initiative to spearhead the awareness of cancers that affect men, specifically prostate. They've coupled with the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG to promote this goal. Myself and a few co-workers decided to get in on this, and now I have a month of steadily looking more and more like a 70's porn star ahead of me- But it's for a good cause.
Movember United States - About Movember (http://us.movember.com/about/)
Fishing is an activity that's primarily male (no offense to the fisherwomen out there!). At some point in our lives prostate cancer is going to affect one of us, or someone close to us. Growing a mustache in Movember is a way to remind everyone who sees you that regular checkups aren't an option, they're a necessity.
So (with the OK from the bossman) I'm asking for any donations to my cause. Any amount would be phenomenal- even $5 would be greatly appreciated. I'll post progress photos of my 'stache weekly, for the enjoyment of all!
If you'd like to make a donation, check out my MoSpace here:
Movember United States - Home (http://www.movember.com/m/2271066)
Alternatively, a donation can be made by clicking "Donate", clicking on "Someone you know", then searching for Kevin Jackson... I'm the one that's part of the Northeast Cooperative Re-Stache Program. Donations can be made with any major credit card, or PayPal.
And feel free to join up, or to just post a photo of your 'stache here. Remember- It's for a good cause.
Thanks everyone!
