Brokenhandle - Let's get your gear fixed

Last year, more than 1 million people supported Movember—the worldwide effort to raise funds in support of Prostate and Testicular Cancer research. Beginning November 1st, Mo Bros in more than nine countries put down their razors and said "no" to the clean-shaven look. During the next 30 days they held parties, pledge drives and even mo-contests to raise money.

This year, why not hold your own Movember event? The Movember Foundation makes it quite easy and even provides a free "party kit" to help you out containing:

  • a Man of Movember Sash,
  • a Miss Movember Sash,
  • Posters,
  • Donation Boxes,
  • a Party Guide,
  • Style Guides,
  • Wristbands,
  • Pins, and
  • Stickers.

Alternatively, look for an event near you on the Movember website

I just stumbled upon the PACE Race Series. The PACE Race Series is a series of road races organized by the Prostate Cancer Education Council (PCEC) as a way to raise awareness of prostate cancer and men's health issues. The next race is October 10th in Kirkland, my home town! There are three distances: 1K walk, 5K run, and a 10K run. There's also a run for kids. If you register by tomorrow, September 30th, you can take advantage of the early registration price of $30.

There are a number of super sponsors including the great guys at Everyday Athlete. They've been hosting training runs every Thursday at 6:30PM. There's still two training runs left so if you're thinking about not entering because you don't have anyone to train with, the guys have got you covered.

There are a number of great run courses in Kirkland so the scenery is great and it's a great cause. If that's not enough, there's a beer garden being hosted by the Wilde Rover, a great local pub. I'm getting thirsty just thinking about the beer garden, er, run.
