Volunteerism: MOvember Movement

Last year, my roommate Jeff sported a killer mustache (which I miss, by the way, bring it back!) and a button that read “Ask me about Mustaches for Kids.” It was a great fundraising effort where instead of running a marathon or having a bake sale, Jeff and other men grew sponsored mustaches to raise money for kids. This year, my friend Ryan is doing the same, but in the name of Prostate Cancer research. This is a great grassroots movement with a sense of humor that not only raises money, but spirits as well. Viva el Mustachio!!! Guys, I know it’s not comfortable, but go get your prostates checked! We girls go to the “Lady Doctor” once a year and let me tell you, it’s NO fun, but it’s SO important for our health. So, get ready for the lube, the glove and the “funny feeling” in your bum. It could save your life. Oh, and go donate to the cause, ya’ll!

The money raised by Movember is donated directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation which will use the funds for high-impact research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.

Did you know:

Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in the US with one in six American men developing the disease and more than 28,000 men dying of the disease every year.

African American men and those with a family history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease and should have regular annual testing starting at 45. All other men should commence testing at 50.

*Prostate cancer is 90% curable if detected and treated early.* WOW!
