Movember - Changing the face of Men's Health

Movember (the month formally known as November) is a charity event held during November each year.

Movember participants are known as Mo Bro's. Mo Bro's register at the start of Movember with a clean shaven face 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.

During Movember, Mo Bro's Andrew Kennedy-Smith and Rod Studd will be growing Mo's, or a vague semblance thereof. The aim of Movember is to make male health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of New Zealand men and in the process raise money for an awareness of prostate cancer.

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.

To make a small contribution to our Mo's, or preferably the shaving-them-off, please go to http://www.movember.com/nz/donate , enter one or both of our registration numbers, which are 79986 for Andrew and 76713 for Rod, and your credit card details.

Or you can sponsor us by cheque made payable to the "Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand" clearly marking the donation as being for one of our Registration Numbers: 79986 or 76713. Please mail cheques to: Movember, PO Box 87 150, Meadowbank 1742, Auckland. All donations over $5 are tax deductible.

All donations are made directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand who will use the funds to create awareness, increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer, fund research and scholarship programs.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation of New Zealand is a registered charitable organisation. All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the detail at: Fundraising Outcomes.

Movember culminates at the end of the month at the Gala Part's. These glamorous and groomed events will see Tom Selleck and Borat look-a-likes battle it out for their chance to take home the prestigious Man of Movember title. If you would like to be part of this great night you'll need to purchase a Gala Part ticket.

Thanks for your support,
Andrew and Rod
