Today while at the bank my teller commented on my 'stash' as did the teller next to her who mentioned that she had actually seen me at Starbucks the day before and she mentioned that it took her a while before she clued in as to why I was wearing my 'stash'..and then she had her "Ah ha" moment about an hour after she had left Starbucks..."MOVEMBER!"...I told her I was so pleased. That is part of the reason why I am making the effort this month..raising awareness. Get people thinking....as well I told the two tellers if it reminds one Man to make an appointment with their Doctor and get checked then I have succeeded. So, as we briefly discussed Moevember my teller then said, "Oh you are so right, but"...she continued "You know that is a very good point because I have so many friends that get all caught up with Movember growing their Mustaches and comparing and giving each other a hard time, but they never get checked".....
She brought up a very valid and incredibly pivotal point that seems to be overlooked during this month dedicated to Men's Health. Movember , although listed as one of the top 100 non government organization in the world by Global Journal, yet it brings up a very real question. How many of those participating, supporting, and donating have actually followed through with getting tested for Prostate Cancer.
I realize this is a touchy subject that most men are rather private and rather uncomfortable with; understandable. Those of us that are promoting Movember this month do it first and for most because we care...Big time! So, please I urge you...take some time to visit your Doctor and get tested.
For all the wonderful 'Mosista's' out there...talk to your Male friends and your significant other and encourage them as well. We aren't here to just have fun and have 'stash' competitions. It is vital that we remember what this is all for....Men's Bits...
