Raising money with a Mustache

[ryanmorrison]

Throughout November (including while covering the elections) I'm going to look like a bit of an idiot ;D

I've agreed to grow a mustache for a charity called Movember - it's to raise money for Prostate Cancer (something my father in law came close to dying of last year - fortunately he recovered).

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'm growing a Mo because I'm passionate about tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate cancer.

If you think this is a worthy cause - and I know there are a lot of cause based calls on your wallet - you can donate to my Mo by:

Clicking this link www.movember.com/uk/donate and donating online using your credit card or PayPal account.

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men's health issues and donated to The Prostate Cancer Charity which will have an enormous impact on many men's lives and the awareness will help us to fight prostate cancer on every front - through research, support, information and campaigning.

Thank you in advance if you do decide to support me and thank you for not laughing - too much - at me if you don't.

Hi Ryan,
have you considered making the amount payable depend on just how much of an idiot you look?

Not a recommended tactic for deputy candidates I think.

How did the tash turn out ?

I hope I haven't just woken up from a coma and it's December already!

"Mo"vember = November

How about a BEFORE and AFTER photo.

Or don't you wish to show off your new Village People Look ?

lol I'll be posting photos to my blog and on the BBC Jersey site throughout the month - a sort of progress report.

I'm even thinking about letting people vote on styles

I'll post a link to the first photo here of my cleanly shaven face (normally stubble ridden) on 01 November.

Today is the first day of Movember and I'm now clean shaven ready to start the growing

Although having a tooth ripped out by a pretty heavy handed dentist yesterday my mouth is still a little sore and the shaving wasn't much fun.

All that while on holiday visiting my parents! Oh well - nice to get a break from work sometimes.
