MOvember!

[Rupewrecht]

So who's doing it this year? Anyone?

Movember - Changing the face of Men's Health

Movember the month formally known as November is a charity event held during November each year.

At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants known as Mo Bros then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raise as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible.

Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Partés. These glamorous and groomed events will see Tom Selleck and David Boon look-a-likes battle it out on the catwalk for their chance to take home the prestigious Man of Movember title.

While growing a Mo is left to the guys, Mo Sistas (ladies that support their guys or just love Mo's!) form an important part of Movember with their powerful feminine touch, by recruiting Mo Bros, helping to raise funds and attending the highly anticipated Gala Partés.

But it' s not all fun and games, so why the extreme behaviour?

Which ever way we look at it, men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy for men is five years less than for women.
The obvious question is why?

The answer is because men lack awareness about the very real health issues they face, have a "she'll be right" attitude and are reluctant to see a doctor about an illness or to go for regular medical checks.

The aim of Movember is to change these attitudes, make male health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of fashion and in the process raise some serious funds for key male health issues, including:

Prostate Cancer: because every year in Australia 2,900 men die of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who die from breast cancer annually.

Male Depression: because one in six men experience depression at any given time but most don't seek help.

Do you loose points if your Nana finishes with a bigger Mo than you?

[bourbon]

im with borat..every day of the year is movember :p

[Putonyourshoes]

i started 2 weeks ago...
i figured its going to take me until movember to actually get one

[nimrods86]

hahaha me too!


maybe we should get a comp started or something.

bourbs has a handicap.

[bourbon]

why do i get a handicap?? just cause ive always had a hairy face since grade 9...hahhaha

[Abaddon]

I went in it last year, got the handlebars (very pornstar) look happening. Since I'm getting married in Movember I've been banned this year.

[KittyKatSmack]

I'd love to see all the AGT members participate in this great cause.

Put up pictures and update throughout the month so we can all see how you're doing.
Then put up a poll at the end to see which AGT member has the best Mo!

I love it.

[nimrods86]

sweet.

i'm in.

and, yes bourbs that is why you have a handicap.

[newman]

you can't start now either, thats cheating!

[bourbon]

i cant be bothered shavin the beard and not the mo constantly...its anoying to shave full stop! hahaha

[nimrods86]

we need an officail start date.

anyone interested should post a pic on that date, clean shave.


Edit: Bourbs, if i gave you some money out of my wallet would that change your mind?

[Rupewrecht]

You've got to be clean shaven on the first of November.

I'll be doing it, once i get off my arse and sign up.

It means i'll have to shave off my chin fluff for the first time in about 7 years! Bah

[Nate]

It means i'll have to shave off my chin fluff for the first time in about 7 years! Bah

[DavoAust]

[Rupewrecht]

Stand up for yourself and grow some balls...and a moustache! :p

[DavoAust]

[nimrods86]

Stand up for yourself and grow some balls...and a moustache! :p

like the man said, take a stand. it's for charity. and damn fun. for only a month.

[bourbon]

My Beard And Mo Dont Grow Fast!!! Hjahahaha...just I Dont Shave For A Long Time ;)

[Rupewrecht]

Don't forget to sign up if you're going to!

[bourbon]

im just gonna shave tonight and cant bebother signin up :p hahhaah

[Rupewrecht]

well, i've shaved the bit of fluff off my chin for the first time in years, so sponsor me and make it worthwhile :p

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.

To sponsor my Mo please go to http://www.movember.com/au/donate, enter my registration number which is 123812 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: 123812. 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.

For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the detail at: Fundraising Outcomes.

Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Partés. These glamorous and groomed events will see Tom Selleck and Borat look-a-likes battle it out for their chance to take home the prestigious Man of Movember title. If you would like to be part of this great night you'll need to purchase a Gala Parté ticket .

Thanks for your support!

[DavoAust]

[Cincinnatus]

Ok, count me in, will post some pics soon as can be arsed. I'm one hairy mofo, i warn ya. Unfortunatlet, due to some mishap of nature and by cruel fate, i come from a long line of bald men so that at the youthful age of 29, i'm already bald as an eagle, however, with the right handle bar moustach growing on my face, i'm sure that in no time at all i can look like some inmates b!tch Pics to come.

[Rupewrecht]

it's not too late to sign up, too ;)

LMFAO @ "like some inmates b!tch"

[CityEnd]

BAHHAHAHA dan you know if you were bald in that pic you could almost be mistaken for homer :p hahaha


How abt homer during his college years? exact same hair style LOL

[SehnKhan]

You don't look right Dan. And no, that's not an "eyes covered" statement of the obvious. Your chin fluff maketh the man.

It'd be like Clinton without tears in his eyes.

And you've taken a MySpace style "Fat girl angle" shot :P

[Rupewrecht]

****en oath i have hahah

Apparently the rules allow a 'complementary bit of chin fluff' so it'll be back!

[bourbon]

[Putonyourshoes]

[chicaboo]

OMG, this is the first time I've looked at this thread, and it is sooo funny! Firstly, the look on Bourbon's face is a little concerning... :rolleyes:
And I think Dahndi has taken the Asian thing a little too far! :p I'm with Nate, but I'll have the beef and black bean please! :p

[woofy]

yeah I used to have a goatie years ago...and got rid of it, cause the top lip part was so itchy.....so when asked if I was going to do Movember...decided not to, and just sponsored a friend. The jazz spot stayed though....although at times it tries to take over my face....

[KittyKatSmack]

It's so @#$@^*&%#ING ITCHY!!!!!

...so yes, it shall be going.

Keep it until Xmas, then we can all shave you........... :rolleyes: :D
