David and Margaret would like to thank all friends, clients and colleagues who gave so generously towards their “Movember” campaign. Together with a friend, Ray Pearson, they had formed the team “Cheshire Professionals”. By 2nd December this team had raised or been promised £2,157 towards improving men’s health by raising awareness of, and funding research into, prostate and testicular cancer, the two biggest causes of male cancer deaths.
Movember is a worldwide movement. Within the UK total donations this year amounted to £12.4million, and the UK was second only to Canada in the amount raised. The total throughout the world was a whopping £57.4million.
David is now once again clean shaven, and Margaret can once again walk into Sainsbury’s without carrying a sign explaining her hairy facial growth.
Whilst Movember is now officially over for another 12 months, the donation lines are still open and will remain open until at least 9th December.
