NO MO

I previously posted a pic of my incipient mo - grown for Movember.  Many people asked me why I was growing it, so I guess I achieved the purpose of raising awareness for prostate cancer.  But I was also touched that so many people also then said that they would sponsor me.  In the end I raised £100, which I shall donate appropriately.

Here's how it ended up:

like a cross between David Beckham, a retired WWII fighter pilot and roadkill.

But I was also growing it for Charlie.  And as soon as I shaved it off, sadly he passed away.  For some reason that affected me as much as his death.

  1. Very well done on the amount you raised.

    I very much like your idea of doing one of Charlie's walks on his birthday next year. I don't know yet if I will be able to make it (work and all that), but keep me posted on plans, in case I am able to.

  2. I too am still having rough emotional times over Charlie. I am missing his always kind but sometimes humourous comments on my blog. I will certainly miss going cyber walking with him. Jamie was right....he showed us Derbyshire. If I ever win the lottery.......

    I honour you for doing the whole Movember campaign. Thank you for the donations to research that ends so many men's lives.
