Last year around this time we blogged about Movember, a month-long moustache
growing event raising "vital funds and awareness for men’s health,
specifically prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men". We
recently learned that our friend and customer, Skinner, is participating
so we asked him to be our Movember
"corespondent". Each week through the end of the month Skinner will check in with us to update us on his progress.

1/2 WAY THERE: LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL"
We all know
cancer and men’s health are serious issues. There’s a lot of talk leading up to
Movember about the purpose of this charity, the science and the stats. However, the reality of the campaign is
settling in. It’s about having fun and
taking the stigma out of men’s health.
That’s why we’re not sitting around having meetings, conferences and
seminars. Men’s health issues should not
be kept in a dark scary room of a doctor’s office. Instead we’re incorporating the discussions
in our daily lives. Going to happy
hours, wine tastings, bike n’ beer rides, ball games and many other wonderful
events. The more comfortable we all are
talking about health, exercise, nutrition in our daily lives, the easier it
will be for us to make the necessary changes to lead healthier lives.
What a fun month it’s been so far and I’m only halfway through. The wonderful support I’ve had from friends
have family has helped me reach my fundraising goal. I’m officially a Platinum Mo Bro.
Let’s try to
for Double Platinum!!!
