It’s Movember and time to focus on men’s health. To show my commitment, I’m donating my face to the cause by growing a moustache for the entire month of November, and need your support. My Mo will spark conversations, and no doubt generate some laughs; all in the name of raising vital awareness and funds for prostate cancer and male depression.

Why am I so passionate about men’s health?
*1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
*This year 20,000 new cases of the disease will be diagnosed
*1 in 8 men will experience depression in their lifetime

I’m asking you to support my Movember campaign by making a donation by either:
*Donating online at: http://mobro.co/Rowsey
*Writing a cheque payable to ‘Movember’, referencing my Registration ID: 1409546 and mailing it to: Movember, PO Box 60, East Melbourne, VIC, 8002

If you’d like to find out more about the type of work you’d be helping to fund by supporting Movember, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website: http://au.movember.com/about

Thank you in advance for supporting my efforts to change the face of men’s health.

Regards

Paul Rowse

Paul Clitheroe has launched his own website.

Australians have been listening to, reading, or watching Paul discussing money for nearly 30 years. He can’t really figure out why, because he has been saying exactly the same stuff for the entire time.

Paul thinks that money is not as hard as many people, and the financial services industry makes out. He does not believe in money miracles, get rich quick schemes, tax dodging investments, or any investment with a Gold Coast post office box address. He thinks gambling is a terrific way to pay voluntary tax to the government, though he accepts that bookies (who are mathematicians, not gamblers) probably will get rich. He reckons that for the rest of us that getting rich can be done slowly, by following the basic rules of money.
