Anyone doing Movember this year?

I'm finding the participation to be lacklustre compared to 2 years ago (I don't remember doing it last year...)

An Asian doing Movember is rather challenging

It's hard for me to take part of movember this year when I really have no idea where the donations are REALLY going. I've took part every year in the last 6 years, but this year is the first time Im not growing a mo.

did you not ask yourself that question the past 6 years, or did they change the way they handle the money this year and you're not happy with it.

i would assume you would've asked the same question re: where the money is going over the past 6 years, unless you were caught up in it and did it for the cause....

Oh I did it for a good cause and fun until my uncle died of cancer, I vowed that last movember was the last one. It really pisses me off that we are still slow at making progress. My uncle was a good man and I miss him.

sorry for your loss dude, but wouldn't you want to continue to raise money for awareness/cure or whatever so no one else has to suffer the loss similar to you?

i don't grow a mo because asian but i usually donate to the first person that hit me up, usually my boss.

Thanks!

I do donate a fair bit of $$ to charities but only to specific ones that I know the $$ will be used towards research rather than a CEO's $1,000 lunches.

^ i hear ya, when my friends and i would throw our halloween fundraiser (raised $20K in 7 yrs, not bad for friends throwing parties), we wanted to the money to help Sick Kids, but instead of giving it to the foundation, we made sure to direct it directly to the department.

there should just be an over-arching cancer research/awareness/cure/support fund that people can donate to. i figured if you can cure one cancer, you can apply same/similar method to cure other cancers (i'm clearly not a doctor lol)

My boss has been donating and been a very strong supporter of Sick Kids...

When we all got PS4's as Xmas gift from the firm, he corralled a few others and they donated them all to Sick Kids...

(His kid went thru some reeeeeeally serious shit.)

One of the guys I work with grew a bear all october and on november 1st he shaved it to a moustache. I tried explaining that the whole point was to start fresh on nov.1 and grow it out for the month AND collect money for the charity. People like him have ruined it.

I've grown two bears in my life, but didn't shave them down for Movember.

Day 23. Can't wait to rid this shaggy shit from my face.

As I'm not used to growing, the individual strands defy gravity, and grow straight outta my face, instead of pointing down... ... Though I am finding some ladies are intrigued by this Asian growing a respectable 'mo ...
