Movember 2010 is over!
Well Movember 2010 is now over, and we had a great time. The team raised nearly $2,400 - not bad for a bunch of mostly first-timers. A huge thanks to everyone who donated.
Our MoSpaces are still up, with stupidity intact, so feel free to drop in for a laugh:
Cheers,
Dan, Simon & Josh.
Movember 2010 is on!
Dad was a fan of Movember, and was often seen sporting luxurious moustachery during this period each year, raising fairly decent money for his efforts.
In his honour the three of us, his sons, have formed a Movember team, Lehman Brothers. You can donate to our team here. You can also keep an eye on our individual Mo Spaces, using the below links:
Personally, I'll endeavour to post daily photos of my efforts so you can laugh at me both loud and often.
Cheers,
Dan.
In loving memory of my Dad
My Dad was diagnosed with a brain tumour in April 2009. It was spread throughout his brain. The surgeon likened it to dropping some red paint into a can of white, and swirling it around. Dad had surgery shortly after, followed by some aggressive treatments of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
By April 2010, he had it beaten fair and square. The tumour had started to shrink, his speech was getting better and he was able to drive again (one of his true passions).
In May 2010, his speech and mobility started to decline a little, and a second tumour was found - this time on his brain stem. With very few treatment options open to him, Dad fought the good fight, but passed away at 2:45am on July 27th 2010, whilst in palliative care.
He was only 57 years old and, by nature a vital, outgoing man who enjoyed life to the utmost. He never smoked, rarely drank, and had no cancer risks in his life (other than, perhaps, cellular telephones).
This short presentation is in memory of him. Dad chose the music himself for his wedding to Marie, who most surely was the love of his life.
Rest in peace Dad.
Love Dan.
