At the time that I write this blog post, 1 out of every 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime.
HALF of the men that you know could be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Doesn't that make you want to support a great cause like Movember? Movember is the one month of the year we designate to talk about men's health issues like prostate and testicular cancers, but more importantly, it is an opportunity to encourage the men in your life to take better care of themselves. Don't wait for a crisis to see your doctor. Don't try to be "macho" if you're experiencing pain. With odds like 1 out of every 2, "macho" could easily mean "dead" if you don't take action.
If you want to read some of the stories that the Dads 2.0/NYC Dads Group/Dad Bloggers have written to inspire you to support this cause, please head over to the iVillage page of Jim Higley (aka Bobblehead Dad). He has compiled the stories of several participants in one place so that you can easily read about the awesome dads in our group and why they are growing such fabulous Mo's. This group has already raised over $8,000!
I have come up with a few incentives for those of you who have been thinking about supporting me for Movember, but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

So there you go, the challenge is out there. Don't wait until the last minute. Do it now. Let's change those odds and help a great cause!
