Movember: Team CFW

In the past few years, the guys at the gym start looking pretty creepy in November, but it’s all for a good cause.  They are growing mustaches as part of Movember, a movement supporting Prostate Cancer Canada.  The basic idea is that you start clean shaven on Movember 1st, then grow a moustache and raise money throughout the month. You register to participate online at http://ca.movember.com and participate as an individual (“Mo Bro”) or as part of a team.   This year, CrossFit Winnipeg is putting together a team and we’ll raise funds via pledges to our online profiles.  These totals are accumulated to form a team total, which we’ll be able to compare to other teams locally and around the world. Of course, it is much more fun to do as a group, especially when girlfriends/spouses are less than ecstatic about your new “look.” You can also manage your online profile, post progress pics, and leave messages of support to other Mo Bro’s.

Movember 1st is next Tuesday so we have less than a week to put a team together. There is no limit to how many people can join. Women can also sign up as a “Mo Sista” to support their mustachioed man.

  It’s Moustache Season, Crossfit Winnipeg! Only a few days left to register online to grow some Face Furniture supporting Prostate Cancer Canada and the Movember Foundation. We start clean shaven Tuesday, Movember 1st and then grow our Cookie Dusters for one MOnth, raising donations to “change the face of men’s health.”

  What makes that veiny, sweat-drenched, bright red super-heavy-back-squat-face look even more manly? A well-groomed Nose Neighbour. Just ask 10th fittest man alive, Matt Chan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe2-Tnw-65E

  Roam Proud Country Gentlemen.

  Last day of Movember. Feeling mixed emotions — proud of sticking with it through thin & thin, but ready to move on. Huge thank you to the family and friends who have generously donated! CFW Team has raised nearly $1500! It is also incredible that Canada has embraced the initiative with such enthusiasm. There are nearly 5000 teams who have raised more than CFW (surely many with far more members than our humble team of eight!), and this is a credit to Mo Bros and Sistas across the country!

  Also thanks again to everyone who donned a Mo for the Modown Throwdown yesterday at Crossfit Winnipeg! We will have some mo-licious photos up on the CFW site soon. Great way to say goodbye to the old space and get excited about the new location. See you there! I’ll be the guy looking a lot less creepy than when you saw him last!
