Good work dot - how are the donations running?

poor - only $40 so far... - just about to send out another email to those that haven't donated... will include the latest photo to see if that encourages anyone...

 

[simongr]

A lot of people wait until the last minute.

Dot,

I thought you would have gone the handlebars again!!

And mine...

Dot,

I thought you would have gone the handlebars again!!

Nah, Mrs Dot still shudders every time she walks past the family portrait taken last Movember - so no Fu-Manchu for me this year. I asked those I sent the email to for suggestions. The only one so far has been a handlebar mo, but I don't think I will have enough length by the end of the month to tease the ends up Biggles style.

I am leaning toward the Walrus (as seen on Richard Strawbridge (Scrapheap Challenge and plenty of other BBC reality shows) and Jamie Hyneman (Mythbusters)). I have my doubts about the achieveability of this option too, but you never know if you never try...

Wow, just found this thread.

Up to $720 here. Lucky though in that my employer matches all employee donations dollar-for-dollar.

Will try to upload a photo tomorrow. Anyone else attending the Sydney event on 28th Nov?

Cheers,
- Febs.

Can one donate for specific Mo punters?

Would like to encourage the members here ...

 

[simongr]

If you have the members Movember reference you can easily sponsor them individually. Otherwise you can search for a member on the movember website if you know their name.

Who wants another donation :?: - dot, Febs, swan_tim it appears you have willing donors here in serfty and me. Post or PM you Registration Number.

 

[simongr]

Thanks for the donations - my team have now eclipsed the amount I personally raised last year so I am hoping to get the team over $1000 by the end

 

[Febs]

I've donated to simongr and am up for a couple more if, as Lindsay has suggested, you identify yourselves.

Will donate in the next couple of days Febs and Nick. (gotta spread the amex transactions out a bit). You have a facebook friend request Febs.

if anyone else wants to donate!

I've raised nearly $600 so far, so I am pretty stoked! I started off doing this as a bit of a dare to grow the mo, but will be definately doing it again next year!

Cheers,

Nick

I am going to keep it to a max of one donation per day so I don't trigger the dreaded "Amex Bill Splitting Police"

 

[simongr]

I was thinking about the Amex issue earlier also. I plan to make a small donation to each person in my team as well...

 

[QF WP]

I don't fear them, NM as each donation can be easily shown to be to a specific person. I only fear somebody asking me to grow a Mo in the future - tried it before, but it is like a drowned emaciated rat, scratchy, multi coloured (grey, red & brown) and Mrs LW likes me clean shaven.

Febs, you've got another donation. Sorry your employer can't match it

Of course, any donations for Christmas to charity will count as transactions if they accept Amex. Looks like I'll be a big donator this year! Just opened the envelope from The Smith Family - yippee, noticed that they accept Amex.

Thanks to Serfty who has kindly donated. The link to donate to my Mo is

Any and all donations greatfully accepted...

Hi Everyone - I am also doing Movember and the link to my account is;

http://au.movember.com/mospace/1673806

Even if it's a $2 donation, I would be very grateful if you could help a good cause....I will also donate to anyone in this thread if they like too! I'll scour the thread and anyone with details will have a donation tonight when I get home from work!

My team so far has raised over $1000 and are on track to double that by months end.

My father had prostate cancer 4 years ago so I am pretty passionate about the issue

Thank you in advance

ps
I have made up to 7 donations on the same day - all different people.. I don't think AMEX can get upset by this as it's to seperate people... all legit - they even send you the invoice to your email
