2010-11-08T09:38:00.005Z

Each Monday of November I will be posting weekly tash growth to show how my Movember challenge in aid of The Prostrate Cancer charity is developing. To date I've been fortunate to raise £63.41 inc Gift Aid and this is a photo of my tash 8 days into the challenge. Ok, it's not on the same standard as tash heroes Tom Selleck or Burt Reynolds but its a worthy attempt nethertheless.

If you'd like to donate to this worthy challenge please feel free to via my dedicated online fundraising page which can be found at: http://www.justgiving.com/growatash2010

Wish me luck as I hope to look like Super Mario in the coming weeks :-)

Support Graham grow a Mo in aid of The Prostate Cancer Charity

2010-10-31T19:58:00.002Z

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I will once again be growing a Mo (moustache) in support of The Prostate Cancer charity. That’s right, I’ll be putting the Mo back on the face of male fashion for a great cause and I need your support.

Movember?
Movember is a new charity event that raises awareness about male health issues and money for research into prostate cancer. You can find out more information at: http://uk.movember.com

The serious bit
If you don’t know what the prostate does, you’re not alone. Two out of three men in Wales can’t tell you. Yet cancer of the prostate gland is the most common cancer amongst men in Wales, causing about one in four of all new male cancers. You can find out more information at: http://www.prostate-cancer.org.uk

Supporting a good cause
Please sponsor me and watch my Mo grow!

If you’d like to donate (even if it’s just a £1.00), a dedicated fundraising page can be found at:
http://www.justgiving.com/growatash2010

Or feel free to give me cash, post a cheque/postal order to my address made out to Graham Sanders and I'll add it to the online total. Last year I was fortunate to raise £230.97 and ideally I'd like to eclipse this amount.

Updated Mo growth will be posted on a weekly basis on my company's blog:

Many thanks for your support
