I made $113.56, which put me at number 10,916th in the US for mustache-based fundraising for The Prostate Cancer Foundation and Livestrong. The US came in a distant 4th place out of the countries participating in Movember:
118,809 Registrations
$19,928,666 (all $ amounts USD)
129,757 Registrations
$19,095,316 Raised
111,661 Registrations
$12,305,524 Raised
64,825 Registrations
$6,506,491 Raised
12,709 Registrations
$1,516,673 Raised
9,487 Registrations
$599,193 Raised
And, since I made more than $100, as I promised, here are some photos of my mustache. Thanks to Reanna for instagramming and catpainting them. And thanks so much to my generous donors, Pauli, Reanna, Debra, Ryan, and Doug.

One Day Left to Sponsor My Mustache

I posted on November 6 that I was growing a mustache during the month of November as part of an international campaign for prostate and testicular cancer awareness: Movember. I also said that I would post a photo of the final product here if I made $100 for the cause. I now have what some might call a luxuriant (adj. characterized by abundant growth) one-month old mustache, so here’s the almost-final report on the fund raising:

My mustache has made $32.56 for the cause. That means that a mustache photo here will cost you $67.44 or, more likely, a bunch of you a few dollars. Here’s the link, if you want to donate.

I am currently ranked 17,090th in the US for funds raised. That’s pretty good for a campaign that’s only a few years old. That means that the bare minimum we’ve raised is $512,870.89, and it’s probably many times that amount. And that’s just in the US.
