Psst... over here

Round 2 of MoVember in SL!

 

"SL Movember 2015 is here and we're looking for your best mustache pics! This year, we'll be selecting 15 of the shots to appear in Wintergeist's LA Gallery. The deadline for submissions for those who want to be considered for the show is Nov. 12th, but we hope you'll keep the pics coming through the end of November !

 

Here's how all this started...

 

In 2004, a group in Melbourn Australia organized an event where 30 men would grow a mustache for 30 days in order raise awareness for prostate cancer and depression in men. This group would later become the Movember Foundation Charity.

The Movember Foundation has since raised $174 million worldwide after spreading to South Africa and Europe and reaching North America in 2006. In 2010, participants in the United States alone raised over $7.5 million. In 2012, 1.1 million people signed up to participate and raised upwards of $95 million.

 

As the granddaughter of a prostate cancer victim, this is an important issue and I hope that with your help we can bring greater awareness in our little community. Take the time to slap on a ‘stache, shoot a selfie (or one of a friend) and post it on your page and to our little group (make sure to tag it Movember) … and then, when someone asks “why the stache?”, you can be part of the Movember Movement yourself ! The pics don't have to be of your avi.. get creative !

 

And PLEASE tell all your male friends to get checked.. early detection is critical (starting at 50 and then again at 55, 60, and 70)

Thanks and hugs,

Daze <3 "
