IFEDA, supporting prostate charity for Movember




Being the General Manager of a trade association in what is a male dominated sector of British industry I am saddened by the number of times I hear about prostate and testicular cancer especially when it affects IFEDA's members and/or their family. I was made aware that the technicians of IFEDA member Fire Crest Protection down in Cornwall are growing moustaches as their way of raising awareness and funds for this worthwhile charity in what is known as movember.
On behalf of IFEDA I to am going to support their efforts for movember BUT having seen the attached photo from the IFEDA agm of 15 October I am intending to lose a substantial amount of weight and invite you to donate to the disappearing pounds.
I am weighing in at 14 stone and 8 pounds (verified by my incorruptible wife) you may wish to sponsor me for every pound lost from today until Thursday 1st December.
Neither I nor IFEDA take or use any of your donation - it will go via the links below to the Prostate Cancer Charity
My just giving page can be found at http://www.justgiving.com/Graham-Ferris
Or via the associated Facebook page at http://apps.facebook.com/jgdonation/Graham-Ferris/on-facebook
If you fancy supporting this charity by growing your own moustache you can read more about MOVEMBER at http://uk.movember.com/about or even sponsor the guys at Fire Crest.
