Why whiskers?

Our three male teachers -- Mr. Uhler, Mr. Bracken and Mr. Webster are participating in Movember, a cancer fundraiser supporting research for prostate cancer.

You can be certain that they will receive a great deal of teasing from the rest of the staff.... perhaps I'll get some photos???

Here are the details that Team Eastdale sent me:


This Movember, the month formerly known as November I’ve decided to donate my face to raising awareness about prostate cancer.  My donation and commitment is the growth of a moustache for the entire month of Movember, which I know will generate conversation, controversy and laughter.
I’m doing this because 4,400 men die of prostate cancer in Canada each year and one in six men will be diagnosed during his lifetime.
This is a cause that I feel passionately about and I’m asking you to support my efforts by making a donation to Prostate Cancer Canada.
To help, you can either:
*  Click this link http://ca.movember.com/mospace/1095270/ and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account
* Write a cheque payable to Prostate Cancer Canada, referencing my name or Registration Number 1095270 and mailing it to: Prostate Cance r Canada, Suite 306 145 Front Street East, Toronto, ON M5A 1E3, Canada.  
All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.
For more details on how the funds raised from previous campaigns have been used and the impact Movember is having please visit: http://ca.movemberfoundation.com/research-and-programs.
Thank you in advance for helping me to support men’s health.


Cheers.
