Thank you to the COURAGEOUS and CHARMING returning MoBro, my dear friend and fellow costume designer, Carlos Rosario for your very generous donation to MOVEMBER! I asked Carlos, “WHY DO YOU MO?” He shared, “I’m increasingly aware as I get older, how important it is for all of us to go to the doctor regularly, be sure to get checked for prostate cancer and self check for testicular cancer. A few years ago my father had some prostate issues. I hope to be able to avoid that by being proactive with my own health. MOVEMBER does a terrific job in bringing awareness to these health issues and men’s mental health.

MOBROS ARE RIGHTEOUS!
RAZZLE-DAZZLE like RYAN! THANK YOU SO MUCH to my dear friend, cousin and returning MoBro, the RESOURCEFUL and RESILIENT Ryan Buckley-Shaklee! Your generous donation to MOVEMBER will help to change the face of Men’s Health and STOP MEN DYING TOO YOUNG!
I asked Ryan, WHY DO YOU MO? He told me, “I support MOVEMBER for all of my brothers who are battling disease or dealing with depression publicly or privately. You are not alone. If my donation to MOVEMBER can help to prevent someone from dying by suicide or cancer then it’s well worth it and the least I can do.”

I am donating in honor of the CHARMING and COURAGEOUS, Chic Gennarelli, our dear friend, family and MoBro who donated every year for 10 years until his death and in memory of my brother in law’s brother, Brownie, who died from prostate cancer this past year.
THANK YOU Chic for your years of love and support! “WHY DO I MO?” I have been participating in Movember for the past 11 years to help raise awareness and money to fight prostate cancer, testicular cancer and for men’s mental health.

JUMPSTARTING MOVEMBER is the JUBILANT and JAZZY returning MoBro, my good friend, James Carrocino! THANK YOU for your support!
I asked him, “WHY DO YOU MO?” James shared, “I support Movember because I want to help raise awareness of prostate cancer. In 2020 just prior to Covid, my nephew was diagnosed with a rare form of prostate cancer. On top of Covid and the shut down, he was going through radiation and chemotherapy. Unfortunately just a week prior to his 52nd birthday he passed away from the cancer. Being aware of prostate cancer, knowing the potential signs and getting regular check ups can help fight this disease.

ANOTHER MARVELOUS MOSISTA! Thank you to the VALOROUS and VIVACIOUS returning MoSista, my dear friend Vanessa Grayson for your generous donation to MOVEMBER! I asked Vanessa, “WHY DO YOU MO?”
She said, “Giving to MOVEMBER is a no brainer for me. We are bringing to light that men should not be forgotten when it comes to the challenges they face fighting cancer and mental illness. As we turn our attention to women in October for breast cancer awareness, we cannot forget the men battling cancer as well and support them in MOVEMBER.”

Vanessa’s donation will help to fight prostate cancer, testicular cancer, reduce men’s suicide.

I asked, “WHY DO YOU MO?”
Jack told me, “
”Too many men are dying from prostate cancer. When I read the stories and see the faces I see (what could be) myself.
I guess if I had the disease I’d like to know there are some compassionate people out there willing to help me. It’s the least we can do. “

THANK YOU to my newest MoSista, the SUBLIME and STUNNING, Sharon Marett Smith for your generous contribution to MOVEMBER.
Sharon is a longtime friend and classmate of my sister, Ann Morgan and now, friend of mine. After speaking to my sister I found out that Sharon was an avid quilter. I contacted her to see if she might be willing to help Jim finish the MOVEMBER quilt which he had started before his chemotherapy treatments in Houston. She lovingly and immediately said yes! The result was the awesome, completed MOVEMBER quilt but more importantly, the beautiful connection and convergence of two dedicated, loving and creative people.

THANK YOU to my returning MoSista, lifelong friend, Denise Miller Cipolla for your generous donation to MOVEMBER. I asked her, “WHY DO YOU MO?” She replied, “I support Movember every year because I am hoping the research and treatment will make advances every year. My brother in law, one dear friend, and a good friend have all been diagnosed and are in different stages of treatment. Being the mother of a son and grandmother of a grandson, plus with a husband whose PSA is monitored very carefully, I’m very personally passionate about helping advances which promote men’s health.”
