A friend of mine recently passed away from a rare type of cancer. I have joined a campaign called movember where you grow a moustache to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer. If every one on NS.com donated just $1 we could raise over $60,000. We are a pretty tight and powerful community. Please be thoughtful, selfless, generous, and help this good cause. To donate go to http://ca.movember.com/register/140494

and to see a tribute to my friend Shaun G go to http://mattmargetts.com

spread the word about movember, post it on your facebooks, twitters, send out emails, do everything you can, lets try and make a difference.

thanks so much for your time.

What type of cancer was it? Sorry for your loss.

Prostate cancer is pretty damn common in older men, but often non-lethal.

Great thread Margs - we are sorry to hear about your loss!

Not only does Joystick back Matt Margetts, we also back the fight against cancer. Within our small company, three of our five employees have mother's who are all battling cancer. One of which is losing and only has a few days to live, literally.

Needless to say, its effecting our office pretty heavily.

So, with that being said, Joystick will donate 50% of our sales in the next 48 hours to The Movember Fund.

Check out www.joystickskiing.com to see all the new poles and fire justin@freeskibrands.com and email to purchase your pair of poles and help battle this ongoing battle with cancer.

The clock starts now 1:00am MST

Do Good!!!

If you live in the UK you can get a great hook up from Byron Burger restaurants for doing this.

They have a deal where if you can raise a minimum of £25 for Movember they wil give you a card (fill out some forms on the intermeweb first) that gives you a free Byron Burger every day of the week for the month.

Good cause + free food=result!

If you don't live near a Byron Burger but know somebody who might then pass on the info. Its free food for them (so they'll be happy) and its money for Movember (so your balls will be happy).
