Well I’ve got there, survived an entire month without shaving the top lip.... Got through the scratchies, the itchies and the disbelieving stares...
I’ve been called a Sleazy Mexican Delivery boy, Chopper Reid, Porn Star, or the Biker from the Village People... One kind person even said I was the spitting image of Graham Gooch the ex English Cricket Captain, which was nice because he is the only name I’ve been called that has a positive connotation.
When I walk into a service station they assume I’m going to hold the place up, Small Children run away screaming and my dogs will have nothing to do with me...
Don’t get me started on Helen’s reaction.
I am somewhat amazed as the generous response from my family, Friends and work colleagues.. Incredibly over $13,000 has been donated to benefit Prostate Cancer Foundation and Beyond Blue an organisation that deals with depression..
As you all know my Dad died of Prostate Cancer, and I am truly aware of the devastating effect Depression can have on individuals, their families and the community as a whole. These issues are particularly relevant to men.
I guess what I’m saying is thank you... thank you for your support of this fundraiser and support of this initiative....
Importantly guys, make sure your doctor keeps an eye on you for Prostate Cancer, and that you stay aware of the signs of depression both in yourself and in your mates, and don’t be afraid to offer a hand..
Thank You... Bryan
