Hi all

I hope it is ok to post this hear, if it isn't then just shout at me.
A couple of years ago I did Movember with the company I worked for, this year I am doing it off my own back and it is a bit more personal as I have had a member of our family affected by mental health issues and one of my brother in laws is currently going through chemo treatment and battling cancer. Below is the blurb from the Mo team and links to my page, any help would be great whether it is a donation or just spreading the word.
Thank you all for taking the time to read this.

For the 30 days of Movember I've committed to changing the face of men's health, I'm asking you to support my efforts by making a donation at http://mobro.co/johnhunter-haschka.
 
We need to take action, as the current state of men's health is unacceptable:
 
·      Around the world, men die on average 6 years earlier than women - there's no biological reason
·      Every hour one man dies from prostate cancer in the UK
·      Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men ages 25-49 years
·      Tragically, 12 British men died from suicide today. Tomorrow, 12 more will die too. On average, 12 men die everyday from suicide in the UK
 
The Movember Foundation is working around the clock and around the world to improve the lives of men and their families affected by prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems. They can't do this without our support, so please support my efforts to make a difference.

There's a lot riding on my efforts this Movember and I'd really appreciate your support.

Together, we can have an everlasting impact on the face of men's health.

Thanks

John
