Movember!

No, that is not a typo! Movember, the fundraiser to raise awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer research which takes place for the entirety of November, is amongst us again! This year I have officially signed up to participate. And so here is the call for all you who read to help out with this cause. Below is the standard email…


Hi All,

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=1628901&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 1628901 and mailing it to:

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

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.

For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at:
[ Fundraising Outcomes ].

Movember culminates at the end of month Gala Partés. If you would like to be part of this great night you’ll need to purchase a [ Gala Parté Ticket ].

Thanks for your support,

Adwin.

Movember is proudly grown by Canadian Club, Mercedes-Benz and Philips.
Movember is a proud partner of the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada.


If you see me in real life, we can set something up for your donation ;) Spread the word! Thanks!

Grey Christianity: Christian Suffering

Today’s sermon was something that should have hit home to many Christians, and seekers alike. The scriptural background was Judges 2:6-13 which reads:

6 After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance. 7 The people served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the LORD had done for Israel.

8 Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of a hundred and ten. 9 And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

10 After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel. 11 Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals. 12 They forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them. They provoked the LORD to anger 13 because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

I think the main point of the sermon is after the jump.

Comical Conversations #4

Comical conversations is a random bunch of conversations I’ve had with people (most likely friends or family members) which are pretty appropriate to be re-produced online. They’re random (as I’ve already mentioned) and won’t follow any specific release schedule.

Check the full post for all the hilarity (hopefully you understand some references!). BUT today’s edition is kind of special, since there isn’t too much conversation…you’ll see…
