Join Me for this Year’s Movember

I don’t usually include personal topics in this blog but I think I will give it a try going forward. This is my first post and it’s to encourage you to join me for this year’s Movember celebration..

My commitment is to grow a moustache for the month of November and by changing my appearance, raise vital awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

If you’d like to join the movement, visit the Movember page and sign up. Start your own team or join one of the existing ones.

If you would like to, you may help help support my personal journey by making a donation at http://mobro.co/jayvilalta The size of the donation isn’t important, every little bit helps Movember continue its funding of world-class programs. 

To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics:
•  1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
•  This year 242,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed
•  This year 8,290 men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer
