I’m not a man - though I often present as one. I’m non binary, trans, assigned female at birth, and very queer (my preferred term, not everyone uses it). It’s just over half way through this month, and I’m celebrating those not usually showing up on your feed - the non binary masc people, the trans men, the trans women who are not out yet, the men in makeup, the drag queens, kings, and monarchs. Here’s to you, lovelies!

In case you were wondering - I prefer they/them, although I do use he/him as well.

We are nearly at the halfway point of the 2019 Movember challenge, and team Canada is still #1 for the BGIS MOlliance! You are all an inspiration and are leading by example for the largest men's health movement in the world.

Let's see those MOs and those MOves! Share your updates here to keep our team MOtivated!

Keep moving, hosting, inspiring and fundraising. Just keep Mo'ing!

Thank you all to those team members in the Markham IC who attended our Men's Health Talk this past Thursday. I certainly learned a lot about being open/ proactive with my health, and vow to spread the knowledge to the men in my life.

I challenge each of you to have a difficult conversation with the men in your lives. Let's change the face of men's health together!

Now is the time to show off your moustache masterpiece! Take a photo of your hairy efforts and share it wide and far. There’s one more week left for one final fundraising push and using your handsome moustache to start a conversation around men’s health.

Also, if you have any fun Movember pictures or stories, I'd love to see and hear about them.
Send to: Eric.Mercey@bgis.com

Please let me know if I can help you with anything!

Looking Good Mike! Thanks for sharing!

Time for a MO Update!

I have looked through the Mo Spaces and have seen some incredibly good looking Mo’s indeed!

For some of you, your Mo’s are now exiting the awkward/creepy phase and shaping into a little piece of luxury on your upper lip – well done! I also realize that there are some Mos out there where growth is a little bit sparser. To you MoBros I say, “Stay strong. You are brave soldiers, and I salute you!”

Though we are only half way through the month, I couldn’t be more thrilled to share how far we have already come.

With 65 International Mo’s raising over $9,500. A special shout out to the team fundraising leader, Mitch Bath who has already raised over $1,200 – incredible! Not to be outdone, 2nd and 3rd spots are being held by President - Canada, Mike Greidanus and fellow APAC Teammate Brendan Purser who have raised over $950 & $800 respectively.

Despite the already great results, let’s keep the MOmentum going! My challenge to you all is to double your fundraising totals. I know it’s a big challenge, I know. But we’re all doing this to help stop men dying too young, so let’s give it our best shot. Besides, you may be surprised by how deep your supporters will dig to help you reach your goal. Some fundraising ideas for you are:

- INCENTIVES: Offer friends and family incentives in exchange for donations. For every donation of $X you can offer: a drawing, personalized video, etc.

- GO FOR A BIG GOAL: Set a big goal and offer friends and family something big when you reach it. If you raise $X by a certain day you will: Get a perm, rock a Mo-hawk, let your donors choose your moustache style, dye your moustache, or even wax your moustache off.

- THANK PUBLICLY: Have some manners and say thank you to all your donors. Do so publicly on social media to drive more awareness to your Movember efforts and inspire others to donate to you as well.

The truth is, regardless of how your Mo is looking, you are all part of a global movement of men and women who are growing, moving and hosting, all in an effort to help ALL men lead happier, healthier, longer lives; and for that reason, YOU ROCK!

Mo love,
Eric
