life in and around a Vancouver suburb
Jon Strocel is a man with a mission. He’s growing a moustache. You’re probably thinking that the common moustache isn’t particularly fashion forward these days and why would Jon want to grow a moustache and why would I bother to blog about it. Good questions brainiac.
Jon is growing his marginal moustache in support of the Movember moustache movement for Prostate Cancer Canada, a worthy charity and the same folks that paid for a very expensive hormone shot during my recent treatment for prostate cancer.
Here’s a message to all the people that read my blog: Please support Jon and in so doing, support Prostate Cancer research and treatment. Chances are good that you, a loved one, a friend or family member may require their help in the future and wouldn’t it be good to know that you contributed? Click HERE to visit Jon’s contribution page, check his moustache status and send ‘em a buck or two to support Prostate Cancer Canada. It’s fast and easy…they even accept PayPal. You can add a note of support to his contribution page too. How fun is that? And how fun is it to NOT get prostate cancer? Believe me…it’s fun.
