Movember 2009 – What a Month!

KARISHAVE

What an incredible month of Movember! The annual furry-lipped fundraiser saw record numbers of Mo Bros (35,000+ across Canada!) growing moustaches to bring funds and awareness to prostate cancer research, record-shattering donations (on pace to flirt with $8M, nearly doubling our goal of $4M!) and unparalleled MOmentum, as more and more Mo Bros and Mo Sistas play a part in changing the face of men’s health!

My month-long Mo grow came to a tidy conclusion on Monday’s BT when my #1 Mo Sista (technically, my Mo Wife) Kari Skelton brandished a blade live on the air alongside Michele McDougall (click on the video below to check it out). We also awarded one lucky viewer (Kelly Ivanc) an incredible week-long getaway at the Residences at Fairmont Ridge. Kelly was one of MANY of you (listed below) who “put your money where my Mo was” and supported the cause. Together, we raised more than $5,000 for Prostate Cancer Canada!

I can’t say “thank you” enough to the following friends of BT who made a donation this Movember: Tanis Javens, Larry Irla, Melsha Shea, Robert Lee, Scott Wood, Dana Hempstock, Brian Mollan, Joe Whitbread, Andrew Walker, Tracy Kennedy, Barb Robinson, Jorge Cabral, Linda Rumpel, Allison Dosman, Carol Petterson, Liz Lepper, Jim Thompson, Nancy Critchley, Nancy Mooney, Kelly Ivanc, Janet Blouin, Charlynn Branton, Dean Taylor, Terry Olsen, Michelle Dechaine, Nancy Rakovszky, Susan Coupal, Jim Olson, Carol Reyda, Sally Greenhill, Ruthann Esligar, Shannon Dupuis, Wendy MacIntosh, Dorota Dunnigan, Amy Fairless, Quinn Phillips, Meredith McLennan, Doug Mertz, Brandon Pilkington, Carol Ann Lyderik, Rhonda Leier, Tina Lysohirka, Deanna Buzinsky, Adrienne Arnott, Leanne Gyonyor, Anne Semeniuk, Susan Schofield, Wendy Serbin, Laurie Keindel, Mike Yaremkowych, Russell Eliuk, Yvonne Stasiw, Dayna Burnell, Gail Post, Mark Kuipers, Connie Gueutal, Hank Happablap, Chantal St. Jean, Cheryl Gelinas, Charles Dennis, Lynn Penner, Judy Vincent, Cory Cremer, Cindy Derpack, Cory Morgan, Erin Nielson, Leandra Brezinski, Sharon Smith, Kelly Berube, James Kalynuk, Jeanette Willman, Tyler Ashford, Heather Hansen, Melanie Hammermeister, Donna Bala, Helen Rawa, Janice Borchardt, Crystal Majeski, Roxanne Bilawchuk, Tim Lozinik, Carol Stenson and Kate Gallagher.

    You are MORE THAN WELCOME! Such a great cause. And so awesome that you guys are flirting with $8M! WooHoo!

    Hey Ryan,

    I just wanted to thank you from bringing attention to the cause.

    Previously I lived in Australia so I know quite a bit about the mo (except how to grow a good one)

    I made a team out of coworkers and friends. Keith, Ken, Jarrett, Chris, Jason, Bryan and I were able to raise over $3,000.

    Cheers,

    Erik
