The final day of Movember 2010 - Timelapse Video

It is the final day of Movember. I have made it through all 30 days and am extremely happy to be shaving tomorrow morning. With that said, I have definitely help to raise awareness around men's health.Here's a timelapsed video of my ugly mug:To my sponsors for this month: Jen, Courts, Kirsty, Rich, and Stasi (original post here) I say thank you and I am sure that the charities I sponsoring are thankful too!

The start of Movember week 3

It's November 22nd, 2010 and we're almost entering the last week of Movember. I've taken a fair amount of photos this month and this is today's. I'm going to be putting up a timelapse video when all this is over.Here we go...

I'm starting to look like a Mario Bro

This Mo Bro update goes out to David who requested the red shirt to see how close to Mario I could look. I added the hat for effect. I think there's a mushroom chasing a turtle nipping at my heels.

Why women should NOT withhold sex over Movember

This blog post started off as a "what does it mean" blog post. It has now turned in to something quite serious. Women should NOT be withholding sex, action, kisses, love or any other form of pleasure from men who grow Mo's. Mo Bros are growing their Mo's for a very serious reason: Men's health. We're raising awareness and promoting the health of men. This is a serious topic that has recently been glossed over. Not anymore.Directly from the Movember global website:

Movember (the month formerly known as November), the month long moustache growing charity event held each year to help raise funds and awareness for men’s health is officially in South Africa.Having started in Australia seven years ago, Movember has grown to be an international event, taking place in six countries. This global expansion looks set to continue with demand from Mo Bros and Sistas around the world wanting to grow moustaches and celebrate Movember in their own countries. As a direct result, six new countries have been added to this year’s campaign, of which South Africa is one!Movember is about bringing back the moustache for a serious cause and sees Mo Bros, supported by the Mo Sistas in their life, register at Movember.com and then start Movember 1st with a clean-shaven face. They have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache, whilst raising funds and awareness.

I particularly like the part about Mo Bros getting support from their Mo Sistas. Don't be that woman, don't have double standards. You know that if you (ladies) told us that in the name of Breast Cancer you weren't shaving your legs for a month we'd have zero ground to stand on and would definitely NOT withhold pleasure from you for standing up for something that is important to you.So buck up, back your man and if you don't have a man then pursue a Mo Bro this Movember.This Movember I will be growing what some term an "uber-tash". Basically it's a normal moustache, but it just happens to be sitting upon my face, a Greek face, a face that has experienced shaving since the tender age of 12 years old. Yes, you read that right, I started shaving at 12 years old.But I think that this Movember is going to mean a little bit more to me this year.This is the first year that I'm going to be growing my UT (uber-tash) in Cape Town.Movember will mark the beginning of the third month that I have stopped smoking.I'm going to be trying to run by the sea every week day at least in Movember.Healthy eating is going to be the final stage of the changes happening in Movember.So all in all, things have changed a lot for me this year and it seems like Movember is the month that it all comes together.A massive thank you goes out to the rocking Richard Mulholland who is sponsoring my Movember trip this year. I'll be donating half the money raised to a charity close to Rich called Liefling and the rest of the money to Footprings Play.Rocking times. Business is booming, Cape Town is gorgeous, my health is on the rise, I'm finally running again and life is good.
