Donate, donate, donate!

October 31st, 2008

Quest’anno prendo parte anche io (assieme ad altri amici) a un charity rally che si chiama “Movember“. In sostanza, mi faro’ crescere i baffi (in inglese Moustache, da cui Mo e quindi Movember), e in cambio chiedo di fare una donazione a mio nome per la Prostate Cancer Charity. Il ricavato di queste donazioni finanziera’ la ricerca sul cancro alla prostata, che in UK colpisce 1 uomo su 11 (direi che in Italia i numeri sono comparabili).

Se vi va di fare una donazione, o vi interessa conoscere meglio l’iniziativa, fate un salto qui.

L’anno scorso son state donate piu’ di un milione di sterline, usate per questi scopi.

Per rendere piu’ interessante la cosa, cerchero’ di postare ogni giorno (o quasi) una foto dei miei Moustache

Questa e’ la mail originale:

Hi All,

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growing a Mo. That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate cancer.

You can donate to my Mo by either:

1. Clicking this link https://www.movember.com/uk/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=1767451&country=uk and donating online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
2. Writing a cheque payable to ‘The Prostate Cancer Charity Re: Movember’, referencing my Registration Number 1767451 and mailing it to:

The Prostate Cancer Charity
First Floor Cambridge House
100 Cambridge Grove
Hammersmith
London W6 OLE

The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men’s health issues and donated to The Prostate Cancer Charity which will have an enormous impact on many men’s lives and the awareness will help us to fight prostate cancer on every front – through research, support, information and campaigning.

Did you know…

• Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the UK. 35,000 men are diagnosed every year and one man dies every hour.
• 1 in 11 UK men will be diagnosed in their lifetime .

For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at:
[ Fundraising Outcomes ].

Movember culminates at the end of month Gala Partés. If you would like to be part of this great night you’ll need to purchase a [Gala Parté Ticket].

Thanks for your support,

Giuseppe
