dobbo Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 This year it's personal... OK, not me. My Dad has been diagnosed with "advanced but (so far) contained" prostate cancer. He will be on radiotherapy until at least the end of February. Sometime this week, Sonya will be taking a trimmer to my new beard to create a comedy 'tache. The design is yet to be decided and will be out of my control... Anyone suggestions / pledges will be most welcome. First photo to be posted on Saturday. Do your worst, folks.

Meister Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 A fiver from me too! My Father was diagnosed with this last year - so good cause. Let me know how to get the payment to you? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbo Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 Cheers all, I made the mistake of asking Jessica what shape I should do. She suggests curly wurly ones out past the side of my head. She doesn't quite get that it would take months (if not years) to grow that much. I'm dreading what Sonya is planning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Tis a very nice thought and I wish your Dad all the very best. And BTW, I contribute £10 to the Prostate Cancer charity every single month . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbo Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 First photo as promised. Fortunately the beard on my cheeks is too sparse to do anything curly / handlebar-like. Can't get the photo rotated but it's scary enough like that anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbo Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Cheers Elaine. I don't have an actual Movember page - in the past I've always taken money to me and made a single donation with gift aid. The reason was so that if people sponsoring me didn't want to share their details on a sponsorship site, they didn't have to. Folks have been happy doing cash or a bank transfer. I keep records on the official Movember forms until I have their receipt. My plan was to pm people my bank details or get cash at the xmas meal if people are happy with that. Many thanks for your pledge. Will you be doing Fanuary ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stumason10 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Elaine, if you google Movember and Kmandt I'm on that page!! I'm on holiday with poor reception but will see if I can work out iPhone picture upload! Piccie!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
