Hi all
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'll be growin a Mo. That's right I'm bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate about changing men's health and the fight against male depression and prostate cancer. Why...
- 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 die from breast cancer annually.
- Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females.
This Movember challenge is part of the Marinators fundraising campaign. Apart from countless Marinators we have supporting the cause and growing a "mo" Mariners players Andre Gumprecht, Damian Brown, Paul O'Grady and Mariners owner Peter Turnbull.
To sponsor my Mo please go to www.movember.com/au/donate, enter my registration number which is 65911 and your credit card details. Or you can sponsor me by cheque made payable to the "Movember Foundation" clearly marking the donation as being for my Registration Number: 65911. Please mail cheques to: PO Box 292, Prahran VIC 3181. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.
The money raised by Movember is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative, which will use the funds to create awareness, fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and male depression.
Please pass this email on to anyone who may be interested in sponsoring me.
Thanks for your support
Michael
