In the spirit of the season, some of the team got into the Christmas celebrations dining out with our interstate web programmer Matt. Matt and partner Bec called in to visit us from their QLD hideaway to say hi and enjoy the more pleasant NSW weather over an infamous Enzo's pizza or two. Matt implements a lot of our websites with his great skills.

It's easy for Miko Ademagic (pictured) to do his bit for Movember. The Front End Developer at Solutions Outsourced simply has to grow a mo’, and raise money. Moved by a local businessman (David Funnell, diagnosed with prostate cancer and given three months’ to live in 2002 but incredibly still alive thanks to fantastic research and world class doctors) to grow a mo’, Miko has now motivated his colleagues at Solutions Outsourced to do the same. Several other team members have taken the Movember challenge, with Peter, John, Rabin, Dominic, Brett and Brendan all growing a mo’ to raise money for research into depression and cancer. Those not able to grow a mo’ are also supporting the cause, though, with the entire office behind the boys in some way.

However, all other mo-deprived people have to do is part with a little hard-earned money to support a great cause. This is Solutions Outsourced’s first Movember, and the team are aiming to top $1000 in their fundraising efforts. Customers have been very supportive so far, with offers rolling in and donations beginning to mount, reaching just beyond the halfway point of their goal so far.

Miko encourages people to donate – and keep up-to-date with the mo-growing via weekly updates on www.solutionsoutsourced.com.au/blog. Compare photos online to see who can grow the best mo’, and visit the Movember website to see their national ranking with regards to fundraising. Keep an eye on the competition between the Funnells and Solutions Teams to see who the strongest force will be.

Grow a mo’ alongside Miko and the team, point and laugh, or simply admire – but don’t forget to donate!
