Until the next update - keep MOing on.

Still moving up on the national rank - up to 80 now.

_MO All,

Since my last update there has been a further $600 donated.
I also signed up with Team 'MO'NASH who are currently slightly behind the University of Canberra in the UNI Challenge

Thanks for the donations so far.
My current stats for Movember:
Current national rank:    111
Number of donations:     91
Currently donated:         $2,343

It's looking like my goal of reaching $3000 will happen very soon.

To assist in my MO growing I've tried the following techniques:

• Scorpion Strike Hot Chilli sauce from The Chilli Factory not sure if this worked but it was very hot chilli sauce
  
• Plenty of Coffee - not sure if this is working either but it is keeping me awake

There were some strange side effects though - have a look

I will be MOing on for another 13 Days and also placing my contributions ($1 per donation over $5) later this afternoon (currently another $50 - luckily it is tax deductible.

Getting close to the top 100 nationally.

_Well what a great collective donation effort so far.

We're now half way through Movember and I've already surpassed my initial goal of $1500

My current stats for Movember:
Current national rank:    179
Number of donations:     69
Currently donated:         $1,606

However - since we still have 15 days to MO I'd like to increase the challenge to reach $3000 for this cause.

To date - I believe this is a Monash University Record.

I'm still hoping for corporate sponsors to donate as well... come-on dig deep - we're not in Italy, our economy is still strong.

MO on...

_Thank you for all the great support from the 32 people that have donated so far.

Between your donations the total I've raised is $892
This is only after 1.5 weeks and has ranked me in at no 479 nationally.

And remember for every donation over $5 - I will put in another $1.
I just put in $32 dollars for the 32 people that have donated over $5 so far.

Any corporate sponsors that would like to make a donation - or even matching the amount of money I raise?

Every donation helps and donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Progress pictures to come next week - when I get some time and I still need to grow my MO out more.

It’s Movember and time to focus on men’s health. To show my commitment, I’m donating my face to the cause by growing a moustache / beard for the entire month of November, and need your support.

I have attached a picture of what I may look like at the end of the month - although I may need to continue growing till December.

My Mo will spark conversations, and no doubt generate some laughs; all in the name of raising vital awareness and funds for prostate cancer male depression.

Funds raised will help make a tangible difference to the lives of others.
Through the Movember Foundation and its men’s health partners, the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue – the national depression initiative, they are funding world class research, educational and support programs which would otherwise not be possible.

Thank you in advance for supporting my efforts to change the face of men’s health. All donations over $2 are tax deductible - so please donate and claim it back on Tax.

To make the offer more appealing for every $5 or more donation I'll donate $1.

After 1 month of collecting donations for Movember I managed to receive $4440 from 170 people and a few teams collectively.

I'd just like to thank everyone who sponsored me through out the month and allowed me to reach and surpass my growing target (which was originally set at $2000).
