Movember



We all know it's no shave November, but we can also use it as an excuse to raise awareness for cancer:


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 to change the face of men's health and I want you to join me.







The funds we raise during our Moustache journey 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 that testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 18-35.  Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved.

To join my Movember team called Team OHSU go to http://us.movember.com/register/1802

Once registered you'll be sent all the information needed to get donations and get growing as part of my Movember team.

Together we can change the face of men's health.
