			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thankyou to everyone who sponsored me for <a href="http://www.movember.com/au/">Movember</a> this year, I raised a fantastic <strong>$1410.79</strong>; and our team of 3 Borats at <a href="http://www.nehta.gov.au/">work</a> raised a total of $4110.79. The money raised has gone to charities in Australia supporting those with <a href="http://www.beyondblue.org.au">Depression</a> and <a href="http://www.prostate.org.au/">Prostate Cancer</a>.</p>
<p>You can check out the dodgy <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=19008&amp;l=9aa29&amp;id=691915937">Mo-photos</a>  which show the daily growth progress, and even the ones from the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=12171&amp;l=f8bda&amp;id=691915937">Brisbane Mo-Party</a> (before we got too hammered), but thankfully the Mo is now long gone and I look &#8220;normal&#8221; again.</p>
<p>Kindof.</p>
<p>Until next year &#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I&#8217;ll be growin a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moustache">Mo.</a> That&#8217;s right I&#8217;m bringing the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moustache">Mo</a> back because I&#8217;m passionate about changing men&#8217;s health and the fight against male depression and prostate cancer. Why&#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Depression affects 1 in 6 men</strong>&#8230;Most don&#8217;t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.</li>
<li><strong>Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer</strong> &#8211; equivalent to the number of women who die from breast cancer annually.</li>
<li><strong>Men are far less healthy than women</strong>. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females.</li>
</ul>
<p>To sponsor my Mo please go <a href="https://www.movember.com/au/donate/donate-details.php?action=showrego&amp;rego=61863&amp;country=au">directly</a> to the sponsorship site, or alternatively to <a href="http://www.movember.com/au/donate">http://www.movember.com/au/donate,</a> and enter my registration number which is <strong>61863 </strong>and your credit card details]; or you can sponsor me by cheque made payable to the &#8220;Movember Foundation&#8221; clearly marking the donation as being for my Registration Number: 61863. Please mail cheques to: PO Box 292, Prahran VIC 3181. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.</p>
<p>The money raised by Movember is donated to the <a href="http://www.prostate.org.au/">Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia</a> and <a href="http://www.beyondblue.org.au/">beyondblue &#8211; the national depression initiative</a>, which will use the funds to create awareness, fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and male depression.</p>
<p>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 detail at: <a href="http://www.movember.com/au/">http://www.movember.com/au/</a>.</p>
<p>For those of you who <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=19008&amp;id=691915937&amp;l=d6efe">want to laugh at the Mo taking over the world</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=19008&amp;id=691915937&amp;l=d6efe">click here</a> to see how it progresses &#8230;</p>
