Lord help me and eternal hell on Graeme Pitt for badgering me into this
...
"This Movember I've decided to donate my face to raising
awareness about prostate cancer. My donation and commitment is the
growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know
will generate conversation, much laughter and ritual abuse. As I’m sure
you can imagine, the thought of growing a pitiful imitation of a
moustache fills me with horror and there is every prospect that I will
chicken out at some stage unless sponsorship commitments mean I have too
much to lose. However, in the spirit of full disclosure, I plan to
shave it off on Monday 29th Movember at the UKOUG conference in
Birmingham.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. One
man dies every hour from the disease in the UK. I'm asking you to
support my efforts by making a donation to The Prostate Cancer Charity.
To help, you can either:
- Click this link http://uk.movember.com/donate/your-details/member_id/763450/
and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account . Or,
-
Send cheques and CAF vouchers (made payable to 'The Prostate Cancer
Charity Re Movember') directly to The Prostate Cancer Charity, First
Floor, Cambridge House, Cambridge Grove, London W6 0LE. Be sure to
include the person's name on the back of the cheque.
The Prostate
Cancer Charity will use the money raised by Movember for the
development of programs related to awareness, public education,
advocacy, support of those affected, and research into the prevention,
detection, treatment and cure of prostate cancer.
For more
details on the impact Movember is having please visit

Thank
you in advance for helping me to support men's health and putting me
through a month of miserable embarrassment.
Cheers,
Doug
Burns
P.S. How on earth did I allow myself to be talked into
this?
P.P.S. Perhaps I could run a marathon instead?"
