Hi,
This Movember I’ve decided to donate my face to raising awareness about cancers that affect men. My commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter.
I’m doing this because:
· 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in his lifetime
· 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime
I'm also doing this to bring awareness to men's health issues in general. My dad passed away 12 years ago, not from cancer, from a heart attack. But he had health issues that he kind of kept to himself. And if he'd been more up front about them, maybe things would have been different. I'm not saying the out come would have been any different, I'm not saying "what if" I just wish we would have been a little bit more prepared is all...
This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I’m asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to support the great work of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG. To help, you can either:

- Write a check payable to Movember, referencing my name or Registration Number 1120014 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 2726, Venice, CA 90294-2726
The money raised will help make a tangible difference to the lives of others, through the world’s most promising prostate cancer research and LIVESTRONG’s programs that support young adults and their families battling and surviving cancer.
