MOvember is here again!
16 MOustaches by me and $1 million raised by our team since 2009!
This year is my 16th year of growing my MOustache with MOvember and I hope you will help our team, the South Bay Mo Bros, reach $1 million raised since 2009!
I lost my father-in-law, Bruce Gibson, to prostate cancer, and now my three sons have a 50% higher chance of being diagnosed with it in their lifetimes. With this in mind, it has been my mission to spread awareness and raise funds for Movember because I believe they are uniquely positioned to fund groundbreaking projects and unite experts around the world to help men live longer, healthier and happier lives.
Thank you for all of your aMOzing support over the years, and I hope you will 1) read below and become more aware of the issues that Movember supports and 2) consider joining/growing with us and/or donating to help us get to the $1 million mark!
This year is also Movember’s 20th anniversary!
