My buddy Mackalicious over at Blogging Pantsless informed me of a great charitable cause that he is taking part in this month. From his site:
The Movember Foundation was created to raise funding for men’s prostate and testicular cancers. In doing so participants grow a mustache all month long, garnering support from friends and family in the form of donations.
The money raised in the U.S. will be split between the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.
The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.
The Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund:
• the LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program which has the goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40.
• research initiatives to further understand the biology of adolescent and young adult cancers.
The website has some videos that explains it more, but if you want to, you can show your support by growing a mustache for the entire month of November. Ladies, if you can pull this off, go for it, I guess. But if not, then you can recruit other guys to participate.
If you want to show your support financially, please do it through Mackalicious’s donation page. He might even send you an autographed copy of a picture of him in his Sunday best.
