As many of you know, tomorrow marks 7 years that my dad passed away from complications of prostate cancer. Since then, I have tried to be an advocate for prostate cancer awareness, raising money for ZERO: The Project to End Prostate Cancer, and participating each year in their Father's Day run. There is one event, however, that I cannot participate in: Movember.
The Movember Foundation is an organization committed to raising awareness and support for men's health issues, primarily prostate and testicular cancer. They are best known for the month of November, when men around the country put down their razors in an effort to raise money for the campaign. They may not rise to the epicness of those Boston Red Sox beards by the end of the month, but it's fun to see how much (or little) the mustaches of men participating grow.
This year, my friend Keith is raising money for the event, and if you're feeling generous, you can make a donation here: http://us.movem
I would like to thank all of the men (and their sweet mustaches) who participate in this event each year. The awareness that has grown (literally) from this event is amazing, as is the patience of the ladies in their lives for putting up with the scruff! Personally, I like a man with a little scruff on his face...just saying!
