The Last Movember Update

Jim's moustache on November 30, 2011

So here it finally is, this last day of Movember, how far this thing has grown. I started late, so it’s not quite as spectacular as it could have been, but what the hell. It’s for a good cause.

My moustache (Mo) has no doubt generated some laughs; all in the name of raising vital awareness and funds for cancers affecting men.

Why am I so passionate about men’s health?

*1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime (yeah, like me!)
*A man is diagnosed with prostate cancer every 2.2 minutes
*1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime
*24% of men are less likely to go the doctor compared to women

Please support my efforts by making a donation at http://mobro.co/JimArnoldLA.
You can even write a check payable to “Movember Foundation”, reference my name and Registration Number 2620200 and send it to: Movember Foundation, PO Box 2726, Venice, CA 90294-2726.

We only have a month to grow Mo’s and raise awareness and funds, so please come along for the ride.

Funds raised will help make a tangible difference to the lives of others. Through the Movember Foundation and their men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, Movember is funding world class awareness, research, educational and support programs which would otherwise not be possible.

For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please click on the links below:

What is this caterpillar on my lip???

Just 3 more days to grow the damn thing, so I’m hoping to raise a few more bucks to support the fight against cancer.

Movember progress, November 16, 2011

 

November 16, 2011 stache progress (and new glasses, too!)

Jim’s Movember donation area

Stache is coming along. I’m growing it this month to support Movember, the month-long effort to raise funds and awareness for men’s cancers, including prostate and testicular.

I am a prostate cancer survivor. Ultimately, with research, this cancer will be eradicated. Each commitment, each donation moves us closer.

Movember Update – OK, so I’m late

Moustache on 11/11

 

Donate at Movember site.

Not very far along, I will admit. I’m growing a moustache for Movember (link above).

Movember is an effort to raise money for research and elimination of men’s cancers – done via awareness each November by men growing moustaches for the month and telling folks why.

This is the first year I will be doing this and to my chagrin I am late, having just started yesterday on November 10. However, I have a fairly heavy beard so I suspect I’ll have a decent stache by December 1.

In L.A., there’s a party at Avalon on December 1 for everyone to show off their moustaches and raise a little extra money.

Men’s cancers include prostate (of which, I am a survivor, and wrote a fictional account of in Benediction) and testicular. Movember funds go to education, research and survivorship, supporting groups like the Prostate Cancer Foundation and Livestrong. So I encourage you to join me, or to donate, or to just support the effort.

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a moustache. I’m kinda looking forward to it (and hope it doesn’t itch).
