So my partner in blogging crime, Seamus over at Gizmodo is growing a Mo for Movember, which raises money for men’s charities fighting depression and prostate cancer.I refuse to ‘mo up, but I’ve signed up to help him raise some mo-nies (get it?). So please sponsor our team and I promise to stop making these dreadful mo-jokes.Here’s why we’re raising money:<ul>
<li> Depression affects 1 in 6 men…Most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. </li>
<li> Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer andmore than 2,900 died of prostate cancer – equivalent to the number ofwomen who die from breast cancer annually. </li>
<li> Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females. </li>
</ul>
To sponsor my team of Mo Bros please go to http://www.movember.com/au/donate and my registration number which is 153935 and your credit card details.
Or you can sponsor me by cheque made payable to the “MovemberFoundation” clearly marking the donation as being for my RegistrationNumber: 153935. Please mail cheques to: PO Box 292, Prahran VIC 3181.All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
The money raised by Movember is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and <em>beyondblue – the national depression initiative</em>,which will use the funds to create awareness, fund research andincrease support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancerand male depression.
For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and read about it here.
Thanks for reading my begging letter.
