As a sufferer of Bi-Polar disorder and chronic depression I am doing something positive this year by growing a Moe.

This will help to raise much needed funds to help support Men that suffer from depression (1 in 5, if you can believe those stats.)

After all the hate mail and calls I have recieved recently, it would be great to hear from people that are willing to support this worthy cause and provide some positive commitment.

If you are happy to support then I look forward to your comments, and even more importantly, your contributions. ;)

Thanks in advance.
Dave

I was a big supporter of this last year with the guys at work and will again support the cause this year.

What do we have to do, hope it is not a dollar for every hair on your chinny chin chin.
Reg already has a mo, he measured it yesterday it is 19cm from tip to tip and he is very proud.

Hi All,
Here's some more details on Movember (the month formerly known as November). I'm bringing the Mo back because I want to be proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer.

To donate to my Mo you can Click this link:
https://www.movember.com/au/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=1540356&country=au
and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account.
Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Even donating some encouraging comments is appreciated.

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative.

Did you know:
• Depression affects 1 in 6 men....most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
• Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who will die from breast cancer annually.

Thanks for any support,
David.

Good cause - will chuck a few coins in there.....
Only problem is one month isn't long enough to get a decent set of handle bars.....so I think it should be coloured too ...highest donor gets to pick the colour? :-*

Well, I had my midnight shave off to celebrate the coming of MOvember.

Nothing like some family support!
