[BIC-announce] FW: BIC team recruitment for Movember

[Avery Berman]

Dear members and friends of the BIC,
As many of you are already aware, Movember will soon be upon us. For those of you who are not familiar with Movember, it is an annual fundraising campaign where men pledge to grow out their moustaches throughout the month of November while raising funds and awareness for men's health. Since this year there seems to be quite a few of us from the BIC who are interested in growing out our Mo's, I thought it would be fun for the BIC to have its own team. As a tribute to the classic disposable razor, I've named the team McBIC'd - as in getting your head Bic'd or as in the McConnell Brain Imaging Centre, whichever you prefer.
In the past, funds were raised to support prostate cancer initiatives; this year, in addition to prostate cancer, funds will also be going towards raising awareness of men's mental health, which clearly falls within the domain of the Neuro (in case you needed an excuse).
As Movember puts it, if you'd like to participate "you can take part either by growing one Dirty Son of a Mo as a Mo Bro, or join as a Mo Sista to help recruit others, share knowledge and support Mo growers." To join McBIC'd, go to https://www.movember.com/ca/register/details/team_id/649465. It is possible to join through Facebook too, which I imagine may make registration simpler for some of you. Our team will be open for friends/family of members of the BIC  to join as well since I know that some of you may already be participating with other people - I personally have friends that would like to grow out their moustaches - so please feel free to invite your friends and family to join.
If you'd like to find out more about the type of work you'd be helping to fund by supporting Movember, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website: http://ca.movember.com/about/funding-overview/. For more info, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Be sure to follow our team's progress by visiting http://ca.movember.com/team/649465.
Looking forward to see those 'staches.Cheers!Avery
