Putting the Mo into Vember

Movember is coming to a close in a few days and I thought I'd update you with a photograph and issue a challenge. I mentioned when I joined in on this little adventure that those who had read the article on my right testicle which was published in Contemporary Sexuality published by AASECT (American Association of Sex Educators, Counsellors and Therapists) would understand why I joined the Movember Movement. Several people have asked to read the article. Well, here's the deal. I contacted the lovely people at Contemporary Sexuality and even though I've agreed not to republish for a year, they've said for the 'cause' they would give me permission to reprint it here on the blog. In it I tell the story both of my right testicle and the day I became disabled. If ten people indicate that they will contribute, even a small amount to Momember, I'll publish it here on the blog, something I thought I'd never do ... anyways here are some places to donate - my name isn't listed anywhere, I'm just doing this on my own. Just donate to the general fund.

Movember Canada

Movember UK

Movember Ireland

Movember US

Movember Australia

Movember Germany

 So are you ready to see the MO??

Here it is:

It grew in all WHITE!! Who knew?? So it's not a stark change but it is, at least in the right light, noticeable!!

    Donation made. US Movember. Couldn't find your name, so I did it to the general fund.

    Very brave of you - but not necessary unless you want to. Thanks for the continuing education.

    Of course we'll donate. Is it ok if I just do it locally? I'd like to hear your story, but only if you want to tell it here. I really love your blog and read it every single day. I'm finding it constantly challenges my beliefs and helps me think about my thoughts and actions.
