MOVEMBER!

The full-month charity extravaganza known as Movember has begun. Throughout the month, men all over the world will grow mustaches (and the occasional beard) in an effort to raise awareness for men’s health issues with a primary focus on Testicular and Prostate Cancer. The international organizers of Movember have teamed up with the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Prostate Cancer Foundation and will be splitting the money raised by Movember between the two.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer, while the Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund the LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program, which has the goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40. They will provide additional funds toward research initiatives to further understand the biology of adolescent and young adult cancers.

Unfortunately I’m a few days late for the beginning of Movember, the initiative to get males to grow mustaches throughout the month of November and raise awareness/get donations for the Prostate Cancer Foundation (R.I.P. DJS M.D. 1938-2001 <3). I’m participating this year and have shaved my face cleanly, as you can see.

At any rate, I have started a team for fundraising, The Flirty Sanchezes, and I need your help! If you are interested in joining my team and helping to raise funds (you don’t have to do anything with your moustache unless you want to), head to http://us.movember.com/us/register and enter the following information:

My goal is a measly $100. And considering I am personally donating half of that I suspect that between myself and my mother I will probably meet this goal. HELP ME EXCEED IT!! JOIN MY TEAM!!! DONATE TOWARD MEN’S HEALTH RESEARCH!!!!!

Moustache progress reports will be coming soon. And if you donate, you get this cool button (not really):
