Hi all,
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’ll be growin a moustache. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about changing the state of men’s health.

Male health is a major issue, did you know:

  1. Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 6 years less than females.
  2. Every year in New Zealand about 600 men die of prostate cancer – about the same as the number of women who die from breast cancer
    Help me change the face of men’s health by sponsoring my mo.

Please go to http://www.movember.com.au/nz/sponsor, enter my Rego number which is 684 and your credit card details.

The money raised by Movember will be used to change the face of men’s health by creating awareness and funding research into prostate cancer.

More info is available at www.movember.com.au

Movember is proudly grown by Motorola, Polaroid, Remington and VB.

Movember is proud partners with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand.

Cheers
John

Hi,
a final update on this. As well as a huge increase in awareness for men’s health issues over $5.3 million was raised in Aus and $750k in NZ.

The guy who raised the most money (over $20k) won a trip for 2 to the South of France and the ultimate Formula 1 driving experience has donated it back to the cause and it is now being auctioned on Ebay at
