Jason via email - Movember is the first charity event i could relate to and wanted to get involved with. My friends and I formed a team, had a great laugh and for the first time ever we talked about our health and Prostate Cancer. Ashley via email - Much respect for all the outstanding work you guys have done with men's health. Almost single-handedly you have made it 'cool to care'. Quiksilver CEO Bob McKnight on Quiksilver's 2007 involvement which raised $64,000: "We are proud to have partnered with Movember again this year and to help bring it to the States from Australia. Movember is a great way to generate awareness and raise money for prostate cancer. The common enthusiasm and camaraderie Movember generated within our company, from I.T staff to marketing, production and even the team riders, only added to the fun." Matt via email - My father and uncle both have prostate cancer, I'm probably going to get it. Movember gave me a way to really show my support and raise some money for research. Hopefully they can find a cure before I get to 50. Thanks for making it so much fun. Harry via email - I have been diagnosed with prostate cancer this year at age 43. Movember has given me and my friends and work colleagues a fantastic avenue to raise awareness about this cancer at work and in our community while having fun at the same time. Thank you. After winning the Foster's ASP World Tour in 2007, surfer Mick Fanning was asked what he was most proud of that year by the Sydney Telegraph: "I am proud of the moustache I grew for Movember. It was a Lame - Mo, but it helped raise money and awareness for prostate cancer." |
