Funding for Prostate Cancer Research.
During Movember
(the month formerly known as November) I'll be growing a Mo (slang
for
Moustache). I'm opting for the redneck classic, the "W" That's
right I'm bringing the Mo back to raise funds for The Prostate Cancer
Charity because I'm passionate about men's health and the fight against
prostate cancer. Why...
Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer diagnosed in men in the
U.K. with at least one man dying every hour from the disease.
Every year about 35,000 men in the U.K. are diagnosed with prostate
cancer and about 10,000 men die from the disease.
One man in 11 will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
in the U.K.
To sponsor my Mo (moustache) and fight against prostate cancer
please go to http://www.movember.com/uk/donate,
enter my registration number which is 166994 and your credit card details.
Or you can sponsor me by cheque made payable to "The Prostate Cancer
Charity" clearly marking the donation as being for my Registration
Number: 166994. Please mail cheques to: The Prostate Cancer Charity,
ATT: Movember, First Floor, Cambridge House, 100 Cambridge Grove, Hammersmith,
London W6 0LE.
All donations are made directly to The Prostate Cancer Charity which
will use the money to fund high quality research into the causes, treatment
and impact of prostate cancer and to provide support and information
to men and their families.
Thanks for your support
Matt Joiner.
