Wordless Wednesday: The Mo Has To Go

Final Appeal

It's just today and tomorrow, and then you can kiss my moustache goodbye.

And then I can kiss my family again.

It's not too late to donate to Movember. At last count, I was in fourth place in my team's standings: I'd like to be in the top three. Think you can help?

I know I can count on you! Together, let's change the face of men's health.

And remember: I'm giving away a PDF copy of my book, Songsaengnim: A Korea Diary, to three of my sponsors (I'd love to include my anonymous sponsors, but I don't know how to reach you!).

Thanks to all who have helped out so far. Let's not lose the momentum!

Taking It Up A Notch

There's only one week left in Movember, and my 'stache is pretty much complete. All that's left is for it to thicken up. But it won't go that long.

No, come December 1^st, I'm shaving this puppy off. Because it looks cheesy, it's itchy, and my girls don't like it. Not one of them. In fact, they are reluctant to get kisses. They certainly won't take a kiss without complaining, saying that I'm scratching them like a Brillo pad.

And so I've gone to great sacrifices in growing my mo'.

It's also been a while since I've received a donation, and so I'm making another plea. And, to sweeten the deal, I'm going to try and make it worth your while.

Everyone who makes a donation to my Movember page will be entered in a draw for a PDF copy of my book, Songsaengnim: A Korea Diary. On December 1^st, with a clean-shaven face, I will randomly pick three of you. It'll be my way of saying thanks for changing the face of men's health.

If you've already donated to my Mo Space, relax. You'll be in the draw too. Unless, of course, you make an anonymous donation. I can't trace you then.

So dig deep into your pockets. Make a donation. It's a small sacrifice.

It's not like no one will want to kiss you for doing it.

Photo Friday: Three-Day Growth

I've been working on my moustache for only three days. So far it's looking pretty much as I expected.

Awful!

Unbearable to look at? You can always go to last week's Photo Friday. I agree: it's prettier!

Luckily, I'm growing it for a good cause.

November is Male Health Awareness Month, and I'm participating in Movember, growing a moustache and raising money towards prostate cancer research. So far, I've had a few generous supporters; but I need more. Many more.

If you haven't done so already, please go to My Mo Page and give what you can.

And I'll keep providing updates. As many as you can bear to look at!

It's Movember, Baby!

I won't grow a moustache for just anyone, you know.

I look absolutely hideous in a moustache, so I'm only growing it for a very good cause. And you can help.

Movember is an event to raise awareness of men's health issues; in particular, prostate cancer. So, like many Canadians and other men from around the world, I'm growing a 'stache to raise money to fight this disease. Will you help me?

Please show your support by clicking this link and making a donation to my Mo Space. In exchange, I'll give you weekly updates on my progress—that is, all the cheesy photos you can handle. And I warn you: I don't look pretty with a moustache! We're talking Grade A cheesy!

Thanks so much!
