Wazzzzuupppppp!
It’s Tim Selleck here once again.

Last year, most of you (those of you who actually want to fight cancer of the prostate) helped me raise over $1,000. So good on you.

As a result, I was able to check out the Movember party, which was Motacular and also Modiculous. On the right you can see a photo of me cutting it up like a Lifesaver flavoured Mexican. Michael in the background didn’t grow a mo, which was pretty weak, if you think about it. Come on Michael, get can do – check my rad pink t-shirt, it even says it: “Why Don’t You GET CAN DO”. Anyway, I was pretty much the coolest one there, despite the hairy fat dude in leather winning the Gibson SG (I know, right!). me
mevember Anyway this year I am back on the case. To the left you can see a photo of me on the case, like a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Tom Selleck (Sherlock Selleck if you wish), but waaaay cooler, and much more on the case.

You should drop me $2 for support. More is better, but, if like many others, you are struggling under the burden of the alleged GFC-induced credit crunch (silly little over-leveraged rabbit), $2 will do.

See this? That’s Miranda Kerrr. “Tim, wtf has MIranda Kerr got to do with Movember? Nothing, she has nothing to do with it. You are using the Chewbacca defence.” Well, that’s where you’re wrong. Miranda Kerr? She dislikes prostate cancer too, look at Orlando! He sports a rather smashing pirate moustache. And you think that’s the mark of someone who doesn’t care?! You crazy!
Look at those doe-eyes. “Come on, support the cause, donate some money. Comeonnnnnn-uh.” See? Useless to resist. DO IT.

So. You need to get can do, and support this cause.
Tom Selleck demands it, Goose from Top Gun demands it, I demand it, and Miranda Kerr definitely demands it.

Just go here to help: http://au.movember.com/mospace/17512/

If you want to read the boring text Movember suggests I send out, well that’s below. I must admit, the statistic of nearly 10 men a day dying from prostate cancer is pretty sobering.

I am growing a moustache this year for Movember. I have decided to put down my razor for one month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.

What many people don’t appreciate is that close to 3,000 men die of prostate cancer each year in Australia and one in eight men will experience depression in their lifetime – many of whom don’t seek help. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me.

To sponsor my Mo, you can either:

* Click this link http://au.movember.com/mospace/17512/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
* Write a cheque payable to Movember Foundation, referencing my Registration Number 17512 and mailing it to: Movember Foundation, PO Box 292, Prahran, VIC, 3181

Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Movember is now in its sixth year and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCFA) and beyondblue: the national depression initiative. Check out further details at: http://au.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.
