Sooooo here it goes. Tomorrow the month of November starts and I am getting ready to grow a mustache in the name of prostate cancer.

For me the month of November will be the month of Movember (MOustache + nOVEMBER). As many of you may know I used to work in cancer research and I have seen first hand how terrible cancer is and how important research is under funded.

I am donating my face to raising awareness. Hopefully all of you can help me raise some cash. If you feel like donating follow the link and donate to “Flashin Stache, Raisin Cash” or me “Douglas Fairbanks”. http://us.movember.com/mospace/635272/

For fun I will be taking a daily photo of my new stache. I will try to capture the fun and adventures my new stache and I will embark on.

Thank you for your support.

MOvember Fights Prostate Cancer - Day 29

It has been a long and embarrassing month.  I fought the crap out of prostate and testicular cancer.  We went to blows day in and day out.

I wish I could say that I'm going to miss El Moustacho but I am actually glad to see him go.

Here is a good video of some other guys who fought prostate cancer this month.  It is a really inspiring video.



Please help me out with these last 2 days.  Donations can be made thru the link to the right.  Thanks again to all those who supported me through the month.

MO Science Sundays - Day 28

Here are the facts about Prostate cancer.

National Cancer Institute

Prostate Cancer Foundation

Health Line

Prostate cancer is one of the most controversial cancers in both diagnosis and treatment.

This is the second most common cancer that affect men after lung cancer

The risk of developing prostate cancer increases after the age of 50 years.  Majority of prostate cancer are diagnosed in men over 65 years.

There are over 2 million American men currently living with prostate cancer.

Charles B. Huggins in 1941 was awarded a Nobel prize for understanding that prostate cancer was dependent on testosterone for its growth and spread and this could be reversed by giving estrogens, the so called ‘Chemical Castration’.

Prostate Specific Antigen- a marker to diagnose prostate cancer was first used in forensic investigation to determine if a stain on the undergarment was due to semen or not.

The use of ‘robotics in surgery’ is most commonly deployed for removing a malignant prostate cancer from the pelvis.

Prostate cancer is a relatively slow-growing cancer.  For all stages of the cancer the average 5-year survival rate is 98% and the 10-year survival rate is 84%. Remember - Most people die with this cancer and not of it.



Sorry this was kind of boring but I want raising awareness is an important.  There is only a couple of days left.  Please help me in these last days they are panning out be the toughest.  Please donate thru the link to the right.

MO Turkey MO Thanks - Day 25

Tur-key day, tur-key day, tur-KEY DAY, TUR-KEEEEY DAY




Yep turkey with a MO!

It's the day to be grateful and there is a lot to be grateful for.  Today I received two big donations and I wanted to first thank my Mom for her generous donation.  She has personally raised countless dollars over the years and participated in several 3 day 60 mile breast cancer walks.  She struggles with seeing her "baby boy" with a grown man moustache but it is what it is.

I also want to thank my buddy Ryan who has been supporting the blog since day one and despite me making a mistake with the comments early he stuck by the cause.  Thank you Ryan. 


It's a good day to look back and think about all things you are grateful for.  Special thanks to all of you for being aware of cancer and helping to do something about it.  Please help me finish the month strong by making a donation to the right.

MO video fun - Day 24

Here is a cool video with Moustaches.  Hope you enjoy.  There are only a couple days left in the month.



Thank you all for the donations.  If you were thinking about donating it's not too late.  Donations can be made thru the link to the right.
