And all across the land,
Eager faces waited for that hand,
A razor so sharp, for one last shave,
A month of Mo's, prostates to save.
Tomorrow marks the start of Movember. Often lost in the shuffle of manly Mo's, sweet handle bars, and french gentlemen is the reason why we are sporting such wonderful face rugs. It is a badge of support for our brothers in arms in the fight against prostate cancer.
I would like to give a shout out to the Prostate Cancer Canada Network. For those who have not heard of the Prostate Cancer Canada Network it is Canada's largest single organization dedicated to supporting those with prostate cancer. The network is comprised of 70 support groups coast to coast. These groups provide peer meetings, educational events and outreach programs to community health fairs.
Education is the main goal of the PCCN with the overwhelming desire to help educate men about the need for early detection and provide support who have been diagnosed. Members of the PCCN do not provide medical advise but freely share their personal experiences and battles with the disease to let those currently fighting that they are not alone - we are all on their team.
Do yourself a favor and click on over to the PCCN website http://www.prostatecancer.ca/ for more information. Tune in tomorrow for information about who is at risk to develop prostate cancer.
Famous Bro. Mo. Of The Day
This is Glenn Anderson in the fall of 1981, about 15 days before he made his NHL debut. He was 21 years old when this picture was taken; that was back at a time when men were men and NHL rookies could actually grow facial hair (see Sidney Crosby's attempt at a playoff beard). He would go on to score more then 1,099 points and rack up 1120 penalty minuets in his Hall of Fame career. Glenn sportted his stash for more then a decade and he didn't do it because "it was the trendy thing to do", no he instead wore his mo like a badge of honor all the way to 6 Stanley Cups. He was hard nosed and stuck up for his teammates and wouldn't back down from a fight. What lesson can we learn from this?
