What.
Is.
MOVEMBER?
Movember is a month long event where men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health by committing to grow and maintain a mustache for 30 days. On day one they start off clean, and for the rest of the month they tend to their stache on a daily basis. Essentially these guys raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mustache-growing efforts... and through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.
Besides just raising money for men's health, the point of Movember is:
1. to work towards changing the habits and attitudes that men have about their health
2. to educate men about the health risks they face, and
3. to act on that knowledge, thereby increasing the chances of early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.
So.. Tell me Mollie.. Why the sudden interest in this Movember thing? You're not even a guy!
Well.. Because my very own boyfriend, Evan, is participating in this event, and he is taking it on full-force! Also because they allow women to register for the event as well in order to help support the men in their lives that are doing this.. I am officially a member of Evans team and need to start raising money and awareness for men's health!
Soooo.. That being said.. Men reading this post- go get checked out, and then send me your money. Women reading this post- just send me your money. Thanks!
hehe just kidding :] You all don't need to send it to me directly. I mean.. you can if you want, but there is an easier way.. Just follow these three easy steps:
1. Go on their website http://us.movember.com/
2. Click on Donate
3. Click TO SOMEONE YOU KNOW
4. Type in my name- Mollie Lewis
5. Figure it out from there
Yeah.. okay so there were more than three steps, but I figured saying "three" would keep you reading longer. :]
Anyways, if you find it in your heart to donate- then please please do. Even $1 would be helpful. :]
