MOvember

[Gypsy 10]

Hello,

Its Gypsy 10

One of the many things in my life is the St Clair and District Men’s Shed www.scadms.com.au which is a great way to meet new people talk about health issues and do some wood or metal work.

Members of the St Clair and District Men's Shed are supporting Movember this year. A number of us are in the process of growing beards and/or moustaches. The state of men’s health is in crisis. Men experience worse longer-term health than women and die on average six years earlier. Prostate cancer rates will double in the next 15 years. Testicular cancer rates have already doubled in the last 50. Three quarters of suicides are men. Poor mental health leads to half a million men taking their own life every year. That’s one every minute. This year, we are taking action by raising funds for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Donations can be made via our Movember team website by clicking on the Movember Foundation link. au.movember.com/team/2306964

There are two ways to donate either by supporting an individual member or the whole team.

I urge you to help save men’s lives by donating a lot or just a little every cent helps.

Many thanks in advance,

Gypsy 10

Hi Gypsy 10,

Great to hear that you and the St Clair and District Men's Shed are participating in the MOvember campaign this year. Good on you all.

I think before and after photos would be appropriate - without moustache and with moustache. How about it?

For me to participate, I'd need to take my beard off and then grow it again. But I have to think about the trauma that would cause my three sons. They're in their 30's and don't remember me without my beard. So I might just have to support you instead!

If we want to support you individually you might need to provide your real name for those forum members that only know you by your forum handle?
