I’m going to do my Accomplishments #1 post tomorrow and my WTB #1 post for the day after tomorrow. This one’s (much) more important.
November is Movember month. Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for prostate cancer. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.

You know, I’m not one to regularly…. participate in this kind of stuff. I’m usually the last one to spend any effort on this…but while I would do this for jokes with my friends (which is originally how I heard about it and got involved), this cause actually plays close to the heart. If there’s any scientific proof that illnesses or diseases can/are hereditary (and I know there are…), there’s a possible/higher chance that I’ll get prostate cancer down the road. My family is actually pretty healthy. I don’t get sick often, I used to go through elementary school without getting sick once (perfect attendance) for the entire year, and this happened more than a couple years! When I had my wisdom teeth removed, I only took one Tylenol 3 and was eating popcorn the next day. Some people I know who had their wisdom teeth removed bruised and puffed up, they bled a lot and it took them weeks to heal. It took me a few days in comparison. I dunno, I’ve just seen a lot of people with health issues, weak immune systems, etc. And I’m not really one of them. My family, as a whole, are physically strong. Good genes. However…prostate cancer seems to be my family’s bane. I’m okay…for now. But I do worry about it some times…
I pray there’s a cure in the future…much like when I was younger, I lived life hoping they’d perfect that laser eye surgery. Just a couple shots to the eyes, PEW PEW, and I’d be healed! :D At some point, I’ll probably do it…when I get a bit more money.
Anyways. Here’s Movember Day 1 (it’s actually day…3 as I shaved on Oct 30)….but yeah. Let’s see what happens in 30 days! I’ve never let it grow for an entire month…let the insanity begin!
My face is so big >_< But I had to so you would see the lil hairs on my face. To sponsor me, my team, or to just donate, click here!
