Earlier this year we had talked about the top 5 health concerns for men and I had noted that many men simply do not like going to the doctor for preventive care.
One of those top five health concerns is prostate cancer, with one in six American men developing the disease and more than 28,000 men dying of the disease every year. That is why I did not hesitate to pledge my involvement in Movember.
What is Movember you ask?
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 issues. During Movember, I will be growing a Mo, much to the chagrin of my wife who is not a fan of facial hair.
As a Mo Bro, I will be spending the month growing and grooming my Mo while also helping to raise money and awareness to the fight against prostate cancer. Every time someone looks at me funny and questions the Mo, I can talk to them about prostate cancer and ask for their support.
How can you help?
Guys, you can lend your support by joining The Man Page Mo Brigade and growing your own Mo this month. Ladies, become a Mo Sista and help the guys raise awareness and money to support the fight against prostate cancer.
To join my Movember team, register online and follow the steps provided. You will need these details to complete your online registration:

What to do if the Mo is not for you?
If you do not care to join the team and grow a Mo, you can still lend your support by making a donation to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
To donate to my Mo you can either:
- Donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
- Write a check payable to the ‘Prostate Cancer Foundation’, referencing my Registration Number 1890151 and mailing it to:
Prostate Cancer Foundation

All donations are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
During Movember, I will have an opportunity to thank you for your support of my Mo as there will be a prize giveaway coming up that you will not want to miss. In the meantime, please provide your support by either joining my team, making a donation, or spreading the word to your family and friends.
Thanks for your support!

Awesome! I’m glad to hear that you’re participating in Movember!
Cory from A Good Husband and myself are both growing a mo and we have a little contest going since he thinks he can grow a better mo than me.
We’ll be posting periodic updates and let the readers decide. We’d love to have you on board.
