‘Tis the Month of Movember

I’d like to take a break in the usual travel blog stuff here to talk about a fundraiser called Movember (as much as I’d like to pretend that I’m only cultivating my mustache because it is Movember, I have to admit that it originated as a sick yearning to see what I looked like in one).

 

Anyway! This Movember, the money raised in the U.S. will be split between the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund:
• the LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program which has the goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40.
• research initiatives to further understand the biology of adolescent and young adult cancers.

Heard enough? Wanna donate? Go here, or grow your own mustache!
