Please Sponsor My Mustache in the Fight Against Prostate Cancer

Hi All,

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growing a Moustache (a big old handlebar jobby). That’s right I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against prostate cancer.

To donate to my Mo you can either:

Click this link https://www.movember.com/ca/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=1929691&country=ca and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account.

Donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

The money raised by Movember is donated directly to the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada who will use the funds to create awareness and fund research across the country into prevention, detection and treatment, with a goal to ending the threat of prostate cancer.

Did you know:

  • Every year around 24,700 Canadian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 4,300 die of the disease, making it the number one cancer threat to Canadian men.
  • 1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime.
  • All men over the age of 40 are potentially at risk and should talk to their doctor about the disease and early detection. Prostate cancer is 95% curable if detected and treated early.

Thanks for your support,

Andrew Hay

Donate $1 to Charity Without Spending a Cent!

This month The Academy thought that it would be fun to partner up with Hackers for Charity in order to raise money for the people of Uganda. The Academy has offered to donate $1 to Hackers for Charity for every user that registers for a free account at www.theacademy.ca in the month of November. Please let your friends know about this and blog about it. Anything you can do to spread the word would be greatly appreciated. Let’s try to make a substantial donation to charity this month. Thanks everybody!
