Hi,
My name is Brenden Bomwan. My grandfather was diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer a couple months ago and is said to have only a couple more months left here with us. because of this I have decided to join a global movement that is bringing much needed attention to cancers that affect men. I’m doing this by growing a Moustache this Movember, the month formerly known as November. My commitment is to grow a moustache all November and I am hoping that you will support my efforts by making a donation. The funds raised go to the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LIVESTRONG).

What many people don’t know is that 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 18-35. Facts like these have convinced me I should get involved.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DONATE OR WOULD LIKE TO HELP OUT PLEASE SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE AND I CAN LET YOU KNOW HOW YOU CAN HELP!!

All donations are tax deductible to the extent permitted by law.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer.

The Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money raised by Movember to fund:

• The LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program which has the goal of improving survival rates and quality of life for young adults with cancer between the ages of 15 and 40.
• Research initiatives to further understand the biology of adolescent and young adult cancers.



Thank you

Sorry, but if you're asking me to give you money directly, not happening. However I'm happy to directly support the Prostate Cancer Foundation or any other such known cause/organization. Best of luck!

I am actually not asking for money directly. It is to the prostate cancer foundation through a website called movember. I can give you the link if you would like me to. Just let me know and I can send you a PM

BrendenB, our policy is no solicitations at all, for any reason, for any cause, whether direct or indirect. This is an absolute policy with NO exceptions.

Thanks
