And the mo is gone!

…much to the relief of the wife!

For posterity, here’s how it ended the month,

and for the game, you can get up close with it here. In NZ the total raised was over $680,000 contributing to a worldwide total of a whopping $25.3 million!

To those that donated to my mo, thank you. You made it all worthwhile!

Movember – half way!

Well, the mo is bushing up nicely!

Sadly however, the wife won’t let it near her, Matt (2 years) told me one day I had marmite left on my face and Amy (2 weeks) frowns at it, but worse won’t recognise her Dad in two more weeks when it comes off!

Ah well, all for a good cause – that being to raise awareness of men’s health issues, prostate cancer and depression in particular, with donations used for research and support networks.

Here’s the state of it,

And here’s one of the billboards at Wellington Airport at the mo (pun intended),

Movember ‘08 is on!

Oh yes my friend, it’s back!

This Movember (the month formally known as November) I’m growing a mo. I do this for you to admire, but moreso for you to sponsor in support of men’s health issues – in particular men’s depression and prostate cancer. The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men’s health issues and donated to the Cancer Society of New Zealand and the Mental Health Foundation of New Zealand.

So, given we are one week in, what is state of my mo? Glad you asked! Here it is in all its glory, snapped yesterday along with Amy,

To find out more about this mo-growin’-madness, head over to nz.movember.com. Even better, if you would like to sponsor my mo you can donate online with a credit card via my sponsorship page.

Finally, my Mo-Space is here, where you can track progress and might find some additional updates from time to time…

Bye Bye Moustache

Movember has drawn to a close and no doubt, like me, many men of the nation have pleased their significant other by removing a month’s worth of mo growin’.

Here’s my effort after 30 days,

And if you must, hit the link below for the rest of this entry to see a close-up and a trimmed version of the mo…

Thanks to everybody who sponsored me – your combined contribution brought my personal total to $240, adding to a nationwide total of over $1.3 millon (via Scoop).

I must say it’s good to be clean shaven again!

Mo at two weeks

Yup, the mo growin’ men have reached the half way point in Movember. Here’s mine,

In case you missed an earlier post, Movember is all about men’s health awareness and the fight against prostate cancer, with proceeds going to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of NZ. If you’d like to donate, sponsor my mo!

Movember – one week in

You asked for an update, well maybe not, but in any case here’s my one week old mo in all its glory,

And a wallpaper from the Movember members downloads, which is probably far nicer for your desktop than the above pic,
