In memory of the recent passing of Pete Wells, Doug of Bulldog Spirit and Marching Orders has decided to help
raise money through Movember which raises money for the Prostate Cancer
Foundation and the Beyond Blue the national depression initiative.
Pete Wells was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2002 and died on 27 March 2006 from the disease.
In October 2005 he told The Age that all Australian men should have
regular check-ups for the disease. "If they find it early, they can fix
it. If I had gone in earlier, it would have saved me from a whole lot
of pain and misery."

Doug, before the mo....
A note from Doug:
"During Movember (the
month formerly known as November) I'll be growin a Mo. That's right I'm
bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate about changing men's health
and the fight against male depression and prostate cancer. Why...
- Depression affects 1 in 6 men...Most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
- Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer
and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number
of women who die from breast cancer annually.
- Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females.
To sponsor my Mo please go to http://www.movember.com/au/donate, enter my registration number which is 83339 and your credit card details.
The
money raised by Movember is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation
of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative, 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.
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: Fundraising Outcomes.
