I Need Your Money, Bitches!

I'm stealing the text below from my buddy Lance because that mother fucker is leading our team in donations. We're up to $1500, but we want to bring in a shitload more. Help me, mother fuckers!

-----------------------------------------

I have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to cancers that affect men. I'm doing this by growing a Moustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. My commitment is to grow a moustache all November and I am hoping that you will support my efforts by making a donation. The funds raised go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LIVESTRONG).

What many people don't know is that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 18-35. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved.

To make a donation, you can either:

* Click this link http://us.movember.com/mospace/355596/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account , or
* Write a check payable to 'Movember Foundation', referencing my Registration Number 355596 and mailing it to: Movember Foundation, PO Box 2726, Venice, CA 90294-2726.

All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund:

* The LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program which has the goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40.
* Research initiatives to further understand the biology of adolescent and young adult cancers.

For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please go to http://us.movember.com/mospace/355596/

It's a great cause and I hope you collect a bundle. My eldest is doing this for the second year in a row, so I've already tossed my credit card at his team's page. He had to shave his beard & mustache off first, so he that he could grow one from clean-shaved. He is on a coed team where he works. I did not ask if there was some particular private area where the ladies might have stopped shaving.

Thanks, Jim. Good luck to your son too. We're up to about $2300.

Too funny about the coed team. Maybe they go retro-bush for November? Hitler moustache?
