Ok, so, for the first year ever, I've decided to rock the mo, thought I would show you all.

The bottom part is coming off tonight and I will be leaving it as a nice healthy furry cattipiller on my lip HAHA

Movember Australia - Home

So that is my link, I am not here to ask for donations just to show off my big dirty mo! If you do feel like it though, chuck whatever you want towards mens health.

So what do you think? A new permanent thing for me? I have already received threats from the girls to chop it off!

This is the first year of movember since 2006 that I haven't grown one. It's amazing what some people can grow in a month.

Great cause though and good to see so many people getting behind it.

Movember is done in Australia (and NZ and the UK I believe) every November to raise money and awareness of;

- Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia
- Beyond Blue (Mens Mental Health Program)

It really has a huge take up and its not uncommon to see entire workplaces or professional sporting teams taking part.

Bit of a quote from the official website, I'd have thought the australian numbers would have been bigger last year based on the number of mo's I saw.

In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men’s health cause right across the globe, from Russia to Dubai, Hong Kong to Antarctica, Rio de Janeiro to Mumbai, and everywhere in between.

No matter the country or city, Movember will continue to work to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health, to educate men about the health risks they face, getting them to act on that knowledge, thereby increasing the chances of early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.

In 2010, over 130,000 Australian Mo Bros and Sistas got on board, raising $25 Million AUD.

+1 Sammy, It is an excellent cause!

The bottom bit has gone! And there is an update on the link with a new DP.

The next step is to get rid of the little chops and have the lonely mo!

btw, just hit $1010!!! Wonder how much more I can get for these charities.
