Growing a Moustache to Fight Men’s Cancer!

JT no stache Hey! I’m growing a moustache to help raise awareness and funds for men’s cancer.

“Uh, dude you’ve already got a moustache,” you may be thinking.

Not any more!

For only the second time in… 25 something years, the ‘stache is gone.

Why in the world would I do this, and why now?

Because it’s Movember – a worldwide movement to raise awareness and much needed research funds for men’s cancer.

Prostate cancer will strike 1 in 6 men in their lifetime, and testicular cancer is the most common cancer afflicting men aged 18 – 35 (but us older guys are not immune).

Perhaps it’s just me, but I’m rather fond of my prostate and testicles and I have no desire to lose them. Or my life.

Funds raised will go the The Prostate Cancer Foundation and Livestrong.

So fellas, join our team and grow a mo! Ladies, you can join too and be a Mo Sista! (no donation required. A little publicity would be cool though.) We need your support!

And if you can spare ANYTHING, even a buck, you can donate here. Why not give up tomorrow’s latte and donate $5?

    Awesome, Jay!
  • I had a 'stache years ago, what a great time to get it back....very nice Jay! Good post!
  • "Perhaps it’s just me, but I’m rather fond of my prostate and testicles..."

    Yes, It most likely is just you who is fond of your prostate and testicles. :)
  • Wow! I just can' get my arm to comply with the "pick up razor" command...lol
  • Man, I can't believe that's you ;)

    I had a conversation with Kelly last night about growing a mustache for Movember. Didn't go well "You mean you're going to have a mustache for Thanksgiving, in front of my whole family." But a great cause (scary thinking about your own mortality, especially when it comes to prostate cancer). Will see if I can get a way with it; either way, I can and will at least donate
  • You do an exceptionally job raising people's awareness about the different types of cancer that effect people's lives. Your a great guy Jay!
  • haven't had more than a few days stubble since I shaved off the goatee in 1995. Thinking about a Rollie Fingers now tho...
  • I joined the team too. Never really grew one before. What's a month for a great cause.
  • Funny about the mustache, I grew one when i was 17 so I could look older and I finally shaved it a few years ago so I would look younger. Life sure does change.
  • haha, a few funny comments here, funny post.
