Monthly Spotlight For the last seven years I ve been joining in on the mustachioed efforts to combat health risks unique to men, such as prostate cancer, that are rarely spoken about publicly.

We take pledges which will be used to fund research that will make prostate cancer a thing of the past. I do this not only to benefit myself.

3 Monthly Spotlight For the last seven years I ve been joining in on the mustachioed efforts to combat health risks unique to men, such as prostate cancer, that are rarely spoken about publicly. Across the world tens of thousands of us will start November clean-shaven, growing only a mustache to draw attention to this issue. We take pledges which will be used to fund research that will make prostate cancer a thing of the past. I do this not only to benefit myself. Both of my sons are at an increased risk for prostate cancer due to their family history. They also need to know that their father will be around for them as long as possible, and that means improving my health as well. For the first time, the Movember foundation is encouraging participants to actively try to improve our physical health, challenging us to be active every day. This is definitely an area in which I can improve, and our here in Algoma will be at the heart of my efforts. Every morning during Movember you will find me and my mustache working towards a healthier tomorrow for myself and all men. Come join me. If you would like more information about the Movember Foundation, please visit If you are so inclined, please consider a donation to their efforts as well. If you see me and my mustache out and about, please ask me about what I m trying to accomplish. I ll be glad to tell you what I ve learned and how my participation has improved my own health.
