Dan's Mo - Week 1

Dan’s Mo – Week 1

I have been supporting Movember for a number of years now, starting with when I was in Iraq – where it was certainly fashionable to sport a striking moustache! As a charity, I appreciate Movember’s dedication to men’s health, but equally the support it gives to various women’s health foundations. There are a number of ways you can support a charity but growing a mo has to be one of the easiest. For the sake of 30 days’ of upper lip aggravation it is truly worth it to support a charity that advocates both physical and mental health  – Dan Wright wrote.

Almost halfway there. Upper lip aggravation levels steadily increasing, yet to achieve food retention capability. Thanks to those who’ve donated so far – visit my Mo Space page if you haven’t!!

Dan Week 4

It is the end of Movember today, for this year anyway. 4 weeks of dedication and fund raising has led to a pretty thick, good looking moustache. Dan is very proud of himself but admitted to us that he cannot wait to shave his moustache. You still have a few hours left to donate . Help Dan with getting to the $1000 mark!!!!
