Rob's growing a mo

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) Rob is growing a Mo. That's right he's bringing the Mo back because he's being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer. That and because he's run out of razors. Rob will be going for a sort of 1970s porn star Mo, so don't be alarmed when you see him and try not to point, stare or laugh because he thinks it looks cool and you might discourage him. Though I am fully supportive of Rob's efforts, I find the whole thing a bit icky as he will soon look like my 4th year science teacher Mr White. Though a smashing bloke and a very competent educator, I did NOT want to kiss Mr White - he wore cowboy boots.
Anyhoo, to donate to Rob's Mo you can either:
1.
Click this link
https://www.movember.com/au/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink
&rego=1494836&country=au and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or 2.
Write a cheque payable to 'Movember Foundation', referencing his Registration Number 1494836 and mailing it to:
Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181 Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative. The PCFA and beyondblue will use the funds to fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and depression.
Did you know:
* 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 will die from breast cancer annually.

Thanks for supporting Rob. Naturally photos will be along shortly monitoring his progress.
