sphericalfox Posted 27 October 2011 Posted 27 October 2011 Right, I've not seen anyone else post there's up, but in a bid to highlight, support, and promote men's health and specifically men's cancer charity (that of which is poorly promoted and supported to women's), I've joined the Movember cause. I've personally been affected by cancer, as no doubt most of you have, but my Uncle recently was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, and thankfully after having his prostate removed, and having further treatments, he's still alive to tell the tale, and promote awareness to an unforgiving illness, but one that can be be prevented if taking the right precautions etc. So I'm going to be getting involved with Movember, and I would welcome you to do the same, if only so someone asks you why you have grown a silly moustache, and the topic of prostate and testicular cancer is at least something that crosses that persons mind for that minute, day, or week, prompting them to consider the subject. Here's my mospace: http://mobro.co/PaulKellystache Perhaps Mark wouldn't mind, if other's share theirs, and for those who might not get involved to give charitably to those who are: friends, family, and colleagues. Now if only I could find a emoticon with a moustache! So when you see loads of moustachioed fellas around town, at the pub, and at the game, you too can wink and nod in appreciation whatever facial fixture you and they can muster!
FoxyPV Posted 27 October 2011 Posted 27 October 2011 A couple of us did it last year. Nothing says sexy like a guy with dark hair and a ginger moustache I'll sponsor you when I see some pics

sphericalfox Posted 27 October 2011 Author Posted 27 October 2011 Fuck me, it's been a year? Depends on when you started counting.
davieG Posted 27 October 2011 Posted 27 October 2011 I'll be involved either by growing one. although I'm pretty much bearded all the while or through sponsoring. I've already lost a brother through this awful disease it's not known as the silent killer for nothing, It's been disgracefully neglected by Government, scientist and the medical profession. The current test for it is next to useless and often results in unnecessary invasive painful surgery because it cannot determine between benign or malignant and therefore results in a biopsy of which 2 out of 3 are benign.
The Doctor Posted 27 October 2011 Posted 27 October 2011 I would get involved but I can't grow a mustache for the life of me, sideburns fine, hair fine, to a certain extent a roy keane beard - but not a 'tache. So I'll just sponsor a few of you when I see pics.
Asha Posted 27 October 2011 Posted 27 October 2011 I'll be doing this too. Not that abstaining from shaving for a month is going to make a fucking difference.
danny. Posted 28 October 2011 Posted 28 October 2011 I'm gonna attempt this, although, even at 29, my facial hair growth is a joke. My best attempts at a moustache will result in a stubbly-french-pirate-eqsue tash, but will give it my best go.
lcfc"weasel" Posted 28 October 2011 Posted 28 October 2011 I'll have a shave on Monday night and then leave it, not expecting much, but you never know.
Darkon84 Posted 28 October 2011 Posted 28 October 2011 Im aaaaaaaaaall over it this year Its a bit of a sad case that male cancers dont seem to get enough attention, considering how many of us have been affected by it in one way or another. Hopefully my big hair face will help with that. Mutton Chops anyone??
FoxyPV Posted 28 October 2011 Posted 28 October 2011 Fuck it - I'm going to go for it with a couple of ones in work
Benji Posted 28 October 2011 Posted 28 October 2011 The whole of my work department are doing this, with random styles allocated. Will be interesting to see if I can actually grow anything!
Babylon Posted 28 October 2011 Posted 28 October 2011 with random styles allocated. Who got "the Hitler"
Benji Posted 28 October 2011 Posted 28 October 2011 Who got "the Hitler" I can honestly say I was sweating at the thought of getting it, but it was the head partner of all people! Although he only has to do it on the last day. Can't imagine it'd go down too well for a month in this line of work.
sphericalfox Posted 28 October 2011 Author Posted 28 October 2011 Donated. Good one matey. Fanking you. I will of course provide evidence. A blank canvass and hopefully a farcical facial anomaly shall engulf my visage.
lcfcadam Posted 28 October 2011 Posted 28 October 2011 Not that abstaining from shaving for a month is going to make a fucking difference. Lucky bastard

Although he only has to do it on the last day. Can't imagine it'd go down too well for a month in this line of work. I might do it on the last day, if I got a few donations from generous FT posters.... I'd give photographic timed evidence too. Must be worth a pound from every poster who reads this...or maybe more? Any takers?
sphericalfox Posted 1 November 2011 Author Posted 1 November 2011 Cheers DavieG. Trying to post up my 1st day etc, so you can see the canvass I'm working with, but the movember site is crashing. So it may well be tomorrow! Btw, I still stand by my post above, however the caveat is that I will spend an entire day with an 'Adolph' should i reach £250 in donations. I am currently at £110, so it's possible, if posters gave a £1 each. I can also show my post-hospitalisation pictures once I've finished my 'Adolph-tache day'
sphericalfox Posted 1 November 2011 Author Posted 1 November 2011 The blank stare...a blank canvass....to be consumed with a broad stroke of tachism Please excuse the giant sized mugshot, but the movember site aint plaing ball
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 2 November 2011 Posted 2 November 2011 I'm aspiring to be like But will end up like
