I received the following email from The Good Doctor, who also happens to be one of the intrepid organisers of South Africa’s Mo-Vember cause:
“Men are being called to participate in a playful awareness month to highlight health issues specific to men, and raise money for the CANSA organization, simply by growing their moustaches during the month of Novemberâ€Â

Hi All
It is day 28, and the Mo is at a good level of bushpiness!
This is a final request for donations to the Movember fundraiser, in aid of The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA).
Prostate and testicular cancer effects all of us in some form; be it a grandfather, father, brother or oneself.
It is estimated that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point in their lives.
Prostate Cancer is the leading cancer in males and more than 4000 men are diagnosed yearly with prostate cancer in South Africa.
One of the contributing factors to these alarming figures is that many men are unaware of the risks they face with regards to this disease and that many are currently diagnosed with advanced stages of the disease. These realities and statistics are directly related to awareness and education programs available to the public at large.
Awareness and early detection saves lives!!
Please visit www.movember.co.za and donate to my mo and CANSA.
Regards Sean
What a beautifully drafted request.
So, do the right thing, people and give towards male related cancer (balls etc.). If you go to that website (www.mo-vember.co.za) you’ll also notice our team there as well, called 2oceansvibe Luv Sport.
That’s the name of our team.
That’s right.
