Movember Journal 2013: Day 9
Happy Movember everyone.
It’s day 9 now and I’m well on my way to a moustache that I can be proud of!
In the last couple of days since the last journal entry some big things have happened. The Moustache Growers Union Local 416647 has welcomed Michel Neray as the 12th member of our team. We’ve surpassed the $600 mark in donations as a team. And I took my moustache out on the town.
On Day 7 (Thursday), Jay Chan and I hit up the ArtBomb Auction and Trade event at The Spoke Club thanks to Trish. We watched people trade art, saw a couple other Mo Bros in the crowd, had a Steam Whistle or 2 and then headed over to The Winchester for karaoke. Yes, that Winchester. The venue for this years’ Movember Challenge Karaoke Toronto event coming up in just 3 short weeks!
Side Note: I came home with a sweet Justin Blayney that Julie snapped a pic of me with. Can’t wait to hang it!
On Day 8 (Friday), Rannie and I took our Mos to the ACC to see the Maple Leafs tangle with the New Jersey Devils in the annual Hall of Fame Game. It was an amazing pre-game ceremony that paid tribute to Canada’s Veterans as an early Remembrance Day celebration and then introduced the 5 new members of the Hockey Hall of Fame: the late Fred Shero (represented by his son Ray), Geraldine Heaney, Brendan Shanahan, Chris Chelios and Scott Neidermayer.
Side Note: The Leafs won 2-1 in a shootout. So Toronto fans were a happy bunch when they left the building.
Also in the last 2 days I have started using Facebook to feature amazing moustaches from the past and present in a pseudo Hall of Fame presentation. On Friday we honoured Tom Selleck, perhaps my favourite Mo Bro of all time. And today we celebrate Lanny McDonald, which is no coincidence since he was at the arena for the game last night. If you want to stay up to date with the honours, friend me on the Facebook.
Here’s the most awesome part – we’re not even half way through the month yet.
There is still time for you to help us raise funds to fight the good fight.
Fact Time:
• 20% of Canadians will personally experience a mental illness in their lifetime.
• Suicide accounts for 24% of all deaths among 15-24 year olds and 16% among 25-44 year olds.
That’s why we’re doing this. To be able to give better support to people who need it. And a lot of people need it.
If you can help, even with 1 Dollar – please do at mobro.co/phjoshua
Thank you to everyone who is supporting a Mo Bro or a Mo Sista.
You are awesome!
