Hello, My wrestling cohorts!
It’s Movember, the month formerly known as November, which is dedicated to growing moustaches and raising awareness and funds for men’s health. I have joined the movement and will be donating my upper lip to the cause for 30 days. That's right, I am attempting to grow a Moustache for charity. My moustache (Mo) will spark conversations, and no doubt generate some laughs; all in the name of raising vital awareness and funds for cancers affecting men.
Why am I so passionate about men’s health?
*1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
*A man is diagnosed with prostate cancer every 2.2 minutes
*1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime
*24% of men are less likely to go the doctor compared to women
Please support my efforts by making a donation at http://mobro.co/UCHSLipSweaters.
You can even write a check payable to “Movember Foundation”, reference my name and Registration Number 1737020 and send it to: Movember Foundation, PO Box 2726, Venice, CA 90294-2726
We only have a month to grow Mo's and raise awareness and funds, and I am competing with the other teachers/coaches at Union County High School and I told them that the wrestling community will have my back and there is no way that those chumps would be able to raise more money than me, so please come along for the ride support my Movember Moustachery!
Funds raised will help make a tangible difference to the lives of others. Through the Movember Foundation and their men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG, Movember is funding world class awareness, research, educational and support programs which would otherwise not be possible.

Thank you for donating at http://mobro.co/UCHSLipSweaters and for helping me change the face of men's health. Go the Mo!
