Movember: A Novel Approach to Cancer Fundraising

Hello everyone.

This is most certainly NOT spam, and is important that it be read. If you decide not to contribute, I fully understand and thank you for the time taken to read and understand why I've sent you all the e-mail. Below are details on exactly what I'm doing and how you can donate or contribute to a very important and very noble cause.

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I'm growing a Moustache. 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:

1.
Click this link https://www.movember.com/ca/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink&rego=2022056&country=ca and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
2.
Write a cheque payable to the ‘Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada', referencing my Registration Number 2022056 and mailing it to:

Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada
Attn: Movember
145 Front Street East
Suite 306
Toronto Ontario M5A 1E3

I will provide updates to this every few days on my 'mospace' page ( http://ca.movember.com/mospace/2022056), which tracks both the amount donated and is home to a blog where I can show everyone both the epicness of my red moustache and give everyone an idea of how a moustachioed foreigner gets along in Beijing.


Remember, this is an international charity organization, but the money you donate is sent directly to the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada. As such, the website for credit card donations is 110% safe and uses a system world renowned for how safe your information is. You will not receive any spam e-mail, nor will anyone have ANY unpermitted access to your identity.

I've felt the effects of cancer on loved ones and friends. I'm sure many of you have as well. Remember that every dime helps to fund the crucial research for a cure.

Thanks for your time and your contributions. Any questions can of course me directed to either me or the website of the Movember event.

As an added bonus, I will (on the mospace page) post a photo of the burgeoning 'stache' in front of any and all historic Beijing monuments and locales!

Thanks again.

Love and regards,

Nathan
