Movember

[robertdanmorris]

I'm sure many of you have heard of Movember but was thinking how brilliant it would be if the club got behind it and a few players did it...

It would promote a massive talking point and increase awareness of prostate cancer to a lot of males who may remain unaware of prostate cancer.

I know the club are often sniffing around on here and think it would be brilliant if they could consider promoting it?

Put this in main forum as it is club focused rather than off topic.

Any thoughts?

I would hope none of the players do it. They should just make a donation instead. Im not keen on Movember for the fact that I'm guessing 95% of people who 'do it' don't actually get sponsored

I had cancer 2 years ago and the first Movember after I grew a muzzy and raised over a grand. Grew one last year but didn't mither people for money as I decided they'd donated there hard earned money the year before so didn't want to mither.
I think I'll grow another this year but again not ask for money as I've already done a sponsored bike ride in Sept.

The way I see it it, its all about raising awareness. If one person asks why you've grown a muzzy and you tell em and they go home and check there spuds for lumps, well it's worth it.

So I hope all prem footballers do it, raise the awareness, get people checking and hopefully catch any cancerous situations early and make full recoverys... Like me.

Completely agree with you marcus - my hope would be the players doing it raises awareness and gets people to have a check.

Males in their 40s-60s always try to deny it so the increased awareness programmes help massively.

Sorry Mansour tow ropes but I think completely the opposite to your opinion.

Movember is an awareness campaign more than a charity appeal.

Very good cause and it would be excellent for all concerned if our players got behind it.

Did it last year and raised about £300. I'm sure Mike Summerbee did it last year also.

Very good idea.

Donate to friends n colleagues doing n and I take part in collections for Marie curie, organise coffee mornings for Macmillan now instead

I think the female Cty fans should do Fanuary

No need to aplogise I totally understand where youre coming from, maybe im being a cynical bastard.

I just feel Movember is abused each year by people who dont get sponsored, dont care about the charity motive behind it and generally just grow some shit facial hair to gain a bit of attention (being a 'lad') off their mates - again maybe this isnt a fair assumption to make
