It's Movember - Prostate Cancer fundraiser

Hey all,

Myself and some friends are growing moustache's to raise money for prostate cancer. I'm going to be sporting the biker look for the month of November and if you would like to sponsor me or my team please see the details below. I'll even post some pics for your enjoyment!

Head to this site ( http://ca.movember.com/ ) and click on the donations tab. You can search for me or donate to the team.

Team name: The Big Mo
Capt: Simon G

Some Prostate Cancer details.

Did you know:
Every year around 24,700 Canadian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 4,300 die of the disease, making it the number one cancer threat to Canadian men.1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime. All men over the age of 40 are potentially at risk and should talk to their doctor about the disease and early detection. Prostate cancer is 95% curable if detected and treated early.

Donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
The money raised by Movember is donated directly to the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada who will use the funds to create awareness and fund research across the country into prevention, detection and treatment, with a goal to ending the threat of prostate cancer.
