> Hi all,
>
> During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'll be growin a
> moustache. That's right, I'm bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate
> about changing the state of men's health.
>
> Not sure if I'll get it long enough to become a real long twirly Greek
> Style look in a month. I only started growing it on Nov 1.
>
> Seriously, way too many guys around the world are dying everyday from
> stuff
> like this & early detection & knowledge can help some of your best friends
> survive & if my lil "baby face" (as my cousin in Greece calls it !) and a
> mo can help save a few lives by raising awareness of this cause, I'm all
> for it !
>
> Male health is a major issue, did you know:
>
> 1. Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of
> males is 6 years less than females.
> 2. Every year in Australia 2,700 men die of prostate cancer - more than
> the
> number of women who die from breast cancer.
> 3. Depression affects 1 in 6 men...Most don't seek help. Untreated
> depression is a leading risk factor for suicide. Rates of suicide are more
> than double the national road toll.
>
> Help me change the face of men's health by sponsoring my mo.
>
> Please go to http://www.movember.com/au/sponsor

> Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Parte where I'll
