MOVEMBER is nearly here
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2007 12:32 amAs we near the end of Rocktober, its time to think about growing a mo!
I know there were a few members last year who got involed http://www.dslrusers.com/viewtopic.php?t=22113
and not only can we grow a mo, support mens health but we can also practise those self portraits!
Personally I'm involved in a local team and will be going the shave first (getting rid of current facial hair) before growing back a Mo!

Depression affects 1 in 6 men...Most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who die from breast cancer annually.
Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females.
The money raised by Movember is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative, which will use the funds to create awareness, fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and male depression.
