Every day guys are getting diagnosed with Cancer.

Cancer is an ugly, terrible, horrible disease and I’m sure that everyone reading this agrees that the world would be a better place without it.

To do my little part to help with this, I’ve decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to cancers that affect men. I’m doing this by growing a Mustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. My commitment is to grow a mustache all November and I am hoping that you will support my efforts by making a donation. The funds raised go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LIVESTRONG).

Now, I can’t grow facial hair that well. The last time I tried was NOT a fun little experiment so I have no idea how this is going to go. Especially with a couple of conferences this month that I have to attend and speak at. But, it’ll make for a great conversation piece!

When I read that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 18-35, I couldn’t fear the ‘Mo and had to sign up.

What I’m asking of you is to help spread the word by telling people about Movember and encouraging them to come to my donation page at http://www.helpingthecause.com and make a donation. My personal goal is to have Team Mofries raise over $10,000 but I am going to need you, your friends and your places of employments help to make this a reality.

All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund:

• The LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program which has the goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40.
• Research initiatives to further understand the biology of adolescent and young adult cancers.

Thanks in advance for helping with this and for helping a great cause.
