This Movember, the month formerly known as November I’ve decided to donate my face to raising awareness about prostate cancer. My donation and commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter.
I’m doing this because 4,400 men die of prostate cancer in Canada each year and one in six men will be diagnosed during his lifetime. This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I’m asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to Prostate Cancer Canada.
To help, you can either:
- Click this link http://ca.movember.com/mospace/1041268/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
- Write a cheque payable to Prostate Cancer Canada, referencing my name or Registration Number 1041268 and mailing it to: Prostate Cancer Canada, Suite 306 145 Front Street East, Toronto, ON M5A 1E3, Canada.
All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please visit: http://ca.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.
Thank you in advance for helping me to support men’s health.

CMS Tree Page View
Adds a CMS-like tree view of all your pages, like the view often found in a page-focused CMS. By using the tree you can edit, view, add pages and even search pages (useful if you have many pages). And with drag and drop you can rearrange the order of your pages. Page management won’t get any easier than this!
