WELCOME TO MOVEMBER!

UPDATE: MANY THANKS TO LISA, DENNIS & PAM - NEW MOVEMBER TOTAL $130
Movember (the month formally known as November) is a charity event held during November each year.At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants known as Mo Bros then have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache and along the way raise as much money and awareness about male health issues as possible.

Never boys to back away from a challenge, Joey, Mark & Jonno have entered "Team FX" and while you or I might consider they are just sitting around drinking beer and watching DVD's they tell me they are in fact extremely busy growing their mo's!

That's right they're bringing the Mo back because they are passionate about men's health and the fight against prostate cancer. Why...
"Every year in New Zealand 2,656 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 600 die of the disease, making prostate cancer the second largest cause of male cancer deaths, after lung cancer. The average life expectancy of a man in New Zealand is 4 years less than a woman."

There are "Mo-Bros" and "Mo-Sista's" so I guess as I'm the Madcow-Mother-Sponsorship-Manager that makes me a "Mo-Mum"??? As "Mo-Mum" this is where I beg, wheedle, whine for you to sponsor Joe. If you want to sponsor his Mo-Mission online just click here and click on the "Sponsor a Mo Bro or Mo Sista" link. Joe's Rego Number is 116370. C'mon you know you want to and afterall the boys support our Pink Ribbon month in October for all our girlie bits - time for payback girls! We've got to look after the boy bits as well!


Here's Joey on Day 1 and at his clean shaven best
Week 1 ... mmm ... looking a little uncertain perhaps but still growing

but always he has his Mo-Hero to aspire to!

Only trouble is he tells me I have to provide the Ferrari & cigar to finish the image. Mmm. Does the toy Ferrari from the petrol station count? Magnum PI has a lot to answer for! Perhaps I should email Tom Selleck (yeah, like I have his email addy!) to pay his fair share?

There are of course rules.
"01
You don’t talk about Movember outside of the month.
02
Movember runs for 30 days. No more.
03
There is to be no joining of the Mo to side burns—That’s a beard.
04
There is to be no joining of the handlebars—That’s a goatie.
05
A small complimentary growth under the bottom lip is allowed (aka a tickler).
06
You must remain clean shaven apart from your Mo for the entire 30 days.
Failure to conform to any of those rules may, at the absolute discretion of the Movember Committee result in instant blacklisting from further participation in Movember and entry to the Gala Parté.
The Movember Committee accepts no responsibility for lost jobs, lost girlfriends/boyfriends, rashes to you or your partner or any other such mishaps caused by a Movember Mo."

I'll keep you posted!
