Have you sponsored the mo yet?
Seven days in and we have a shape and the beginnings of something reasonably spectacular. Need to bush it out over the next three weeks and I'll have something ready to scare the ladies.
The scary part is, Shelley says she likes it!
If you don't know what I'm talking about, everything is explained in last week's post launching my participation in Movember 2009, raising money for the fight against prostate cancer and male depression. Movember started six years ago when an Australian marketing agency hit upon this fantastic way to raise awareness. Raising humongous bags of cash every year, while at the same time turning us blokes into 1970s throwbacks, Movember has now launched similar campaigns in the UK, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and the US. Various other countries are jumping on board to celebrate the mo while raising the dosh. If you're not sure if Movember is running where you are, check the international website. Movember has been hugely successful.
I wasn't able to participate last year due to the wedding, so my mo needs to be particularly memorable this time around!
To get everyone in the mood while my stubble tries to pick up speed, this is the video created to launch this year's campaign!
Go on. Just a few clicks and a few dollars will make me feel less ridiculous about the mo and make you feel better having helped a worthy cause. To sponsor this sculpted piece of bewhiskered art, visit http://au.movember.com/mospace/259738/.
