Still no blog, but the moustaches are coming

Filed under: Inside Apis Design — Tags: , , , , , , — Robin Eldred @ 9:14 am

Due to some super highly technical DNS-related issues, we are presently without a blog (sigh) but we do have something to announce: Our participation in Movember.

To help raise money for the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada, the Apis team will be growing moustaches. Well, the male team members will, anyway. During Movember (the month formerly known as November) we’re bringing the Mo back in an attempt to be proactive in the fight against prostate cancer.

You can visit the website to make a donation.

Did you know:

  • Every year around 24,700 Canadian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and about 4,300 die of the disease, making it the number one cancer threat to Canadian men.
  • 1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetime.
  • All men over the age of 40 are potentially at risk and should talk to their doctor about the disease and early detection. Prostate cancer is 95% curable if detected and treated early.
