Gang,
I hesitated making this post because I’m definitely using the eBay Ink platform to promote something I’m doing independently of eBay. So, with that in mind, please free to stop reading now. Having said that, there is a remote tie-in in that you can donate using PayPal and that we also have an eBay team in Australia raising funds. (You can check out the eBay Australia Movember site too).

Having said that, I’ve been getting a lot of strange looks because of the new found growth under my nose.

Here’s the deal. This Movember I’ve decided to donate my face to raising awareness about cancers that affect men. My commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and a lot of ridicule (just ask my wife, Allie).

I’m doing this because:
• 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in his lifetime
• 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime

This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I’m asking folks to support my efforts by making a donation to support the great work of the Prostate Cancer Foundation and LIVESTRONG. Every dollar helps.

To help, you can either:
- Click this link http://us.movember.com/mospace/986462/ and donate online by clicking the “Donate to Me” badge using your credit card or PayPal account.
- Write a check payable to Movember, referencing my name or Registration Number 986462 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 2726, Venice, CA 90294-2726.

The money raised will help make a tangible difference to the lives of others, through the world’s most promising prostate cancer research and LIVESTRONG’s programs that support young adults and their families battling and surviving cancer.

For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please visit http://us.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs/.

Okay… back to work.

Cheers,
RBH
