Movember Wrap-Up

Movember 2009 has come and gone and there are definitely less moustaches walking around campus. I just wanted to say thank you to all who participated this year, and to everyone who made a donation. The UBC ASHRAE team was able to raise $595 for Prostate Cancer Research, exceeding the goal of $500.

Although the moustaches are gone, it is important not to forget the importance of this cause. 1 in 6 men will get prostate cancer in their lifetime, and the symptoms are often unnoticeable until it has spread beyond the prostate. Sadly, 4,400 men will die from prostate cancer in Canada this year. Let's continually try to raise awareness, and not let it happen to someone you know. For more information, visit www.movember.com.

Thanks again to everyone involved, I will see you and your Mo's next year!
