“When my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer a few years ago, my first reaction was: holy shit. Obviously, any time you hear the big C word, it gets scary. But then I learned that my grandfather had actually beaten prostate cancer back in the 80s. And the more I read about this disease and how common it is, the more I realized that it is conquerable. As we started on this journey as a family, I gained a lot of appreciation for organizations like Movember.
I’d actually been participating in Movember since before my dad was diagnosed, because it’s such a cool movement and it’s something I really believe in. You’re not just raising money for a good cause, you’re also reminding people and perpetuating a productive conversation. Every year, around two or three weeks into November, I catch people staring at me and smiling. And internally I’m just like, “What the hell? What are you staring at?” Then I remember that, oh yeah, I have this comically large moustache plastered across my face. I love that interaction with people.
