Team MacLellan goes without a close shave & a BIG Thank you

12 Oct 2011

Team MacLellan are in preporation for Movember, the month formerly known as November, now dedicated to growing moustaches and raising awareness and funds for mens health; specifically prostate and testicular cancer.

To help with the cause a few of the team at MacLellans are donating their top lips to the cause for 30 days in an effort to help change the face of mens health. My Mo will spark conversations, and no doubt generate some laughs; all in the name of raising vital awareness and funds for cancers affecting men.

We will be sending updates of our progress to our sponsors throughout the month.

Why are we passionate about mens health?

• 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
• This year 37,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed
• 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime
• 26% of men are less likely to go the doctor compared to women

Team MacLellan are therefore asking for support in the Movember campaign by making a donation. this can be done either by:

• Donating online
• If you want to go old school you can write a cheque payable to Movember, reference Team MacLellan plus the Registration Number: 1389400 and send it to: Movember Europe, PO Box 68600, London, EC1P 1EF

If you'd like to find out more about the type of work you'd be helping to fund by supporting Movember, take a look at the Work We Fund section on the Movember website.

Andrew, Steve and myself would like to thank all of our sponsors and supporters in helping to raise a total of �400 for what I am sure we all agree is a very good cause. And also our local Barbour Dino II in a prompt Mo-removal turning us back to "Normal".
