Movember 2010 - Support Jeff's Mo
With the month of Movember approaching, the team at expert are rallying to support our Project Management Consultant, Jeff! This Movember he will be sporting a highly stylish ginger mo.
If you don’t already know, the month of Movember is an annual fundraising effort to support the Cancer Society, and the Men’s Health Institute in the fight for men’s health issues. Men all over New Zealand and Australia grow a mo over the month of Movember to raise money. The Cancer Society expects 3,000 men to be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year alone! Prostate cancer and men’s health issues in general have been overlooked for too long and haven’t received adequate attention in the New Zealand culture or media, and we want to change this.
The growth of a mo during the month of Movember is to draw attention to men’s health issues, and the funds raised from this period will contribute to on-going regional and national campaigns, as well as additional research projects to assist in the treatment of men’s health issues.
To support this great cause expert has made an initial donation to Jeff’s mo. Now expert are seeking other supporters for this cause and Jeff’s mo.
We will be posting weekly updates in our blogs feed, you’ll get to see how Jeff’s Movember growth is progressing. So be sure to visit our blog each Tuesday morning or follow us on twitter to get an eye full (photo will be uploaded). If you have any comments, motivation, or suggestions on Jeff’ Movember growth, please feel free to leave them at the end of the blog.
Expert will also be naming the largest sponsor for each week, as well as a final shout out and thanks to the largest contributor across the month of Movember. To make it really interesting the largest sponsor at the end of week one (5pm Friday 5th Movember) will be deciding the shape of the mo for the month(within reason, but just looking bad won’t be a reason for it not to go through).
Please help us make sure that somebody manages to beat our boss Evan’s donation, and express your sentiments towards men’s health issues.

Well, it looks a little ridiculous now.
I am now officially hairier than Burt Reynolds.
Thank you to all you clients who have accepted that this growth is actually for a worthy cause, and a big thanks to Evan Bayly, for his generous contribution to Men's health issues, making him still the biggest contributor to date.
Beginning of Week Four of Movember, 23/11/2010
The month of Movember is pretty far through now. 23 days in and I'm getting attached to this hair now.
Mr Evan Bayly is still the top sponsor on my Movember page, but I'm confident that the late horse out of the blocks will beat him.
One more week tomorrow and it's all over.
Now is the time to get your donations up at http://nz.movember.com/donate/your-details/member_id/554108 and make your contribution to men's health awareness.
