  • Clean shaven once again! Movember over for another year...

    Posted by Miko

    2 December, 2011

    If you've kept up with our Blog this year, you'll note that we've undertaken the Movember challenge again this year. There have been many of you who have donated towards the cause again, making Movember 2011 the most successful Movember season yet! More people are growing, more people are donating - more people know - we're spreading awareness faster than our mo's can grow!

    Thank you all for your kindness and generosity, and for your ongoing support to Solutions Moustached, the Movember foundation, BeyondBlue, and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Even those of you who've just clicked the link to get to this page are doing your part to spread the word in one way or another. Your help toward the cause is invaluable.Here are just some of the stats of Movember 2011 and Solutions Moustached.

    Stats

    • Total Money Donated (Globally): $99,025,035 to 852,595 MoBros and MoSistas
    • Total Money Raised (Nationally): $23,079,317 to 141,941 MoBros and MoSistas
    • Total Money Raised (Solutions Moustached): $1,272 to 10 MoBros and MoSistas
    • Total Money Raised in 2010: $1,717
    • Distance from target: -$1,728 ($3000 target)
    • Solutions Moustached National Rank: #3808
    • National Rank 2010: #2112 (-1696 positions)

     

     

     

    Individual Ranks

    1. Miko "Sweet Fifteen" Ademagic - $117
    2. Rabin "Pencilled" Shrestha - $111
    3. Dominic "The Fallen" Ooi - $101
    4. MoJo Wilson - $101
    5. ZoMoë Moxon - $91
    6. MOlivia Mocallef - $81
    7. Andrew "Better luck next year" Cornale - $71
    8. Brendan "El Mostacho Loco" Murty - $71
    9. EMoly Bailey - $71
    10. Peter "5 o'clock Sunset" Ford - $61

    Seems our stats have dropped, but judging by the other statistics, we're not so unhappy! More people are dedicated to the cause which can only mean that more of you have donated that hard-earned cash to other MoBros and MoSistas, and we can't complain there! We did want to see Our Boss's Goatee gone though...

    And with that, Solutions Moustached slumbers for another year, until we're awakened once more in 11 months time! Imagine what our moustaches could've been by then...

    Kind Moustache,

    -Miko.

  • Solutions Moustached 2011 Week 4

    29 November, 2011

    The End is Nigh...

    And we're at the final stretch. Today is November 29th, meaning tomorrow is November 30th, which means three things:

    1. It's the last day to don your Moustache for the cause
    2. It's the last day to donate toward our other cause.
    3. It's my Birthday!

    So it seems that this year hasn't been as successful as last year for us, but we're still very dedicated to the cause. Its not too late for you to donate before the month is up. And, I know how much you're all dying to get me a Birthday gift but I ask you to instead channel that $50 you were all going to gift me towards a better place, i.e. the Movember cause.

    We've all done the hard yards for the month, sometimes against the wishes of loved ones. Its been especially hard watching our moustaches grow faster than our donation box this year, especially with our new goal of $3000 for the year. So hard in fact, that some of us have lost the will. Yes I am talking about you, MoBro Dom. For shame.

    But that just means we should have been trying harder to raise awareness and to spread the word of our cause, which is a lesson learnt for next year.

    You may have noticed that I didn't say that it's the last day to donate toward the Movember cause. It Isn't. You can continuously donate to Movember and Beyond Blue throughout the year via their websites. Or if not, contact them - I'm sure they won't deny your support.

    Support Solutions Moustached for Movember 2011

    So close, yet so far! We're continuing with our mo growth, they're looking much thicker and more voluminous now - we're at the stage where the moustaches of some of our less hairy members become more prominent. Issues like feeling the wind on our upper lip and confusing it for flies, water running off our faces in an unexpected and altered direction, and developing habits of licking the corners of our mouths because food frequently gets stuck there are becoming a real problem.

    We still need your help! Our Boss, Mark, is confident that he'll get to keep his goatee in the new month, but we MUST prove him wrong! We NEED to get to $3000 in the next week, otherwise the goatee continues its life on his face. And what a grand surprise it'd be if those of you who are coming to our Christmas Party on the day after Movember are greeted by a clean, babyfaced Mark Kofahl?

    Thanks to one of our teammates, MOlivia Mocallef, we're a littlebit closer this week than we were last. Olivia had her Birthday on Monday, and her only wish wasn't one of cake and candles, it was a selfless wish for donations to the Movember cause. You can see our stats below have grown a little thanks to her. So, we got her the cake and candles anyway :)
