Hi,
This month I would like to offer you the opportunity to laugh at me
I’m growing a moustache for Movember.
The last time I tried to gro a mo was over 30 years ago at the age of 18 and it wasn’t very successful. To support the cause I’ve decided to put down my razor for a month (November) and help raise awareness and funds for men's health - specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.
If you can help that’s great and if you can’t that’s ok too
What many people don't appreciate is that close to 600 men die of prostate cancer each year in New Zealand and one in ten men will experience depression in their lifetime - many of whom don't seek help. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved and I am hoping that you will support me.
To sponsor my Mo, you can either:
*
Click here to donate online using your credit card* Write a cheque payable to Movember, referencing my Registration Number 143897 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 12 708, Wellington 6144
Remember, all donations over $5 are tax deductible.
Movember is now in its fourth year and, to date, has achieved some pretty amazing results by working alongside The Cancer Society and the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand.

If you are interested in following the progress of my Mo, click here. Also,
nz.movember.com has heaps of useful information.
Have fun and enjoy my very public embarrassment.
Thank you.
Kindest,
Boris Sokratov
