Movember for Prostate Cancer Awarness and Fundraising

Got an email this morning from my buddy Rob Hilditch of the Joey's Only group of companies, telling me he is growing a moustache (Texas handlebar with a soul patch I was later informed) to raise money for Prostate Cancer research. So after I stopped shaking with laughter and found my Blackberry on the floorboard of my truck, (all the while trying not to drive off the road) I fired up the laptop and donated $50 bucks to this physically impossible, yet very good cause on behalf of Rob's efforts.
Now we are all aware that Prostate Cancer is not a laughing matter (Rob's face with a handle bar is an entirely different kettle of fish) and this is something that has touched both Rob and I in our families. I would love to be able to join Rob in his quest to raise as much money as possible, but I have 2 problems,
1) As most of you know I have a pretty healthy Goatee and no issues with its growth.
2) I would consider shaving my head to raise money for the cause, but my head doesn't share the same growth initiative that my face has.
Hence the reason for my blog today, as I am relegated to being a booster for my buddy Rob and his great plan to raise some money for research and eventually a cure for this vicious disease. Please take a minute and click on the Logo below, donate whatever you can afford and help my buddy Rob be the biggest fundraiser of the bunch!!
Cheers!
