Please Donate, Only a Couple of Days Left

I am not going to lie I cannot wait until I get to shave this thing off of my face, I will have it for a couple of more days.  I will not lie, I did receive more complements then I thought I would however my moustache will become a Wyclef Jean song if I reach my goal.  When I decided to do Movember I thought that maybe I could raise 100 dollars for prostate and testicular cancer research.  With only two days left I am almost to that goal.  Right now I have raised 95 dollars and if I could raise over 100 I will be thrilled and will do it again next year.  So please donate, if 5 readers donate one dollar each I will make the hundred dollar mark.  I want to take this time again to thank the following for donating:

It's November, that means Movember! time to grow out that moustache and or donate to the cause.  For those of you that do not know what Movember is, it is a time for people to grow out their moustache's in the month of November to raise vital awareness and funds for men's health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer (you can sign up here).  Last year in 2011, Movember had over 854,000 join the cause worldwide raising 126.3 million US dollars.  I hope this year matches or beats that amount.

This is my first year doing Movember as I generally look terrible with a moustache, but my face can take a month of punishment for a good cause. Per the rules I clean shaved on November first and the current picture is from November 7th, I will put up a weekly picture so you can see the progress.  As of right now  I have raised 5 dollars,  I am glad I raised something (thank you Douglas Kiner) but I believe that I can raise much more.  I ask the sddialedin readers and community to contribute.  I don't care if you give five dollars or five hundred dollars anything helps.  To make a contribution just follow this link and I appreciative your support and I will continue to grow this moustache (hopefully into a Ron Swanson).  In addition, by contributing to my Movember page you are also contributing to team 91X.

Again you can donate here, thank you

Movember Is Here!

I visited my bestie Kristian last night at URBN and his barely-there moustache reminded me that it's Movember! He was starting fresh for the month, though you can see from this picture with my niece Johanna from last year that he's gonna have some serious facial hair before too long.

Cities all over the country will be overtaken with creepy facial hair for the month all to raise money for men's health, including the Prostate Cancer Foundation, Livestrong, and the Movember Foundation.

You can donate to Kristian here or for his team, $tache Money SD here. For you boys out there, it's not too late to join the team!

Mo-vember: Support Prostate Cancer Research

I hope it is very clear that I hate being photographed. I realize I am not photogenic and it takes a lot for me to post a photo of me and my three chins, but I tried to find a better picture of Kristian's stache and they were all inferior. ALL cancers suck. I'm not the only one who has lost dear friends and family to various cancers, but it's really important for all of us to get checked on the things that are terribly awkward to think about. Everyone knows that men hide from the doctor a little bit more than us ladies, and it's especially important to be tested despite the discomfort. My BFF Kristian, who you can get to know and love in his new position as a bartender at URBN North Park, is supporting a cause and you can help him out. I love this boy with all my heart and we've been friends since he was a mere freshman in high school and I'm telling you to support him and his facial hair and all his awesomeness, and mostly because I'm 34 and I know more people who have died of cancer than I want to. And so has Kristian. And so have you.

I kinda hate that this is a form letter, but I tell you that it covers it all, so if you have the spare change to throw in, please do so. And if not, well, I'm broke, too, and we hope that our philanthropic friends can compensate for the rest of us. I mean, seriously, LOOK AT THAT MUSTACHE!

Sooo, as some of you know, I can grow a pretty sweet mustache, and for those
that don't know, I can grow a luxuriously, thick yet soft, world-class upper lip
warmer! On November 1st I committed mustache genocide and shaved off my hairy
masterpiece for the sake of raising money for prostate cancer research.

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

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:

- Click this link and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
- Write a check payable to Movember, referencing my name or Registration Number 742396 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.

been used and the impact Movember is having please visit here.
