OT - Friday Recruiting: Shave the Date! Day 1 of MGoBlog Against Prostate, Colo-Rectal, and Testicular Cancer
Hi All,
Today is the first day of Movember! This is an important charity with the goal of increasing awareness and elimination of Prostate, Colo-Rectal, and Testicular Cancer. We will be growing awesome moustaches to show our support and to start good conversation!
Please join us in the fight by growing your moustache for the month of November, or simply donate to our team by going here: Movember Link
Since I am the founder, I guess I had to follow the rules and be clean-shaven. I don't grow facial fuzz very well, so we shall see what I can grow in a short 30 days:
Previous Recruiting Posts:
Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health. Donations are collected and distributed among various areas of support including: Awareness and Education, Living With and Beyond Cancer, Staying Mentally Healthy Living With and Beyond Mental Illness, and Cancer Research.
<Donate to Me> is a way to contribute directly to the Movember cause, but is allocated to a specific team member vs. donated to the team as a whole. There is no difference in how the money is distributed or handled as it all goes directly to the Movember charity.

Man, I followed through. I have an absolutely wicked moustache today. You're telling me I have to shave it to level the playing field?

You're good! Just figured since I started this thing I better follow all rules down to the letter!
Did you join the team?
Thanks for your support!

Well, I'm being addressed as Tom Selleck or Magnum today, so I'd say I'm part of the team. Was I supposed to register somewhere?

Sent out my link to friends and coworkers and I'll post to facebook later today. As far as starting clean shaven, I got a rolling start from a couple days ago. If I want anything besides a dirt stash by the end of the month, I need every day I can get (stupid Asian genes).

I am German/Hungarian so should be what is referred to as a "Hairian" as most of my relatives look like they're wearing a bear shirt and have a 5 o'clock shadow by 10am...but I guess maybe my brother WAS right. I AM adopted!
Thank you for sharing, and good luck collecting the donations!

Do you have a team already? If not - you're more than welcome to join!

Not yet. I'll definitely join. I have only grown full beards for hockey season.I am interested to see how much Iook like my Dad, who has a mustache.

As promised, I'm in. Also as promised, I'm not starting clean shaven. I grew out my "beard" all through October and shaved in the Mo this morning. It's horrible.
