Title: Meds does Movember for Charity
Post by: Meds on November 10, 2011, 02:43:37 PM
So for the charity known as Movember I have stood up to the task (or my top lip has) of growing just a moustache over the month of November. The idea is to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer and to obviously raise some money in aid of research and developing cures.

Many people do this in November I'm sure you already know someone but so far I don;t think anyone is doing it on our forum so i thought i would post up my sponsor page just in case anyone would like to sponsor me. Anything helps not matter how small or large. So if you would like to show your support click here:-

Thanks to Rico for allowing me to put up this sponsor page and even if you don't sponsor me please feel free to look at the site and laugh at the moustache development.

Cheers.

P.S. Do they accept Paypal?

Wow Marco big smile to you. Rico, Marco according to their FAQ page yes you can donate via paypal.

A friend of mine has pledged a big donation if i wear a Hawaiian shirt and have my photo taken next to a Ferrari. Well there is a Ferrari garage down the road from my work so I'm hoping they play ball. :D

I'll be posting a picture up tomorrow of how I'm getting on. Thanks guys.

A lot of folks are participating over here, I have a few dirt squirrels I am sponsoring all ready! I wanted to do it as well but I have been in client meetings all week back here in New York/CT and needed to remain presentable. Looking good Meds!

Well here we are into day 27. Yesterday I fulfil a challenge set by my friend Peter. He said to me that if I could get a picture taken with my moustache, an Hawaiian shirt and in front of a red Ferrari he would give me a big donation for the charity.
Well I did it.

Awesome...although as you are well aware, you are standing next to a 355 GTS and not the proper 308 GTSi, but we will forgive. I am so sending you a Detroit Tigers cap!

By the way, I once drove a 355 Spyder at 160 mph and number of years ago...with my Dad riding shotgun. :)
Title: Re: Meds does Movember for Charity
Post by: Meds on November 27, 2011, 01:00:36 PM
LOL yeah i know Bry but the cool thing is that a 308 GTSi was indeed in the building but it was in mid-air being repaired lol. That photo boosted my sponsorship by £100 so it was worth it. To be honest it was such a fantastic place to visit i could have stayed there for hours looking at all these cars.

I bet the spyder was a awesome drive mate, very jealous :D

Twas indeed! My younger brothers godparents manage the local Ferrari/Maserati/Aston Martin dealership in my home town, so I have spent many hours playing with some amazing exotics and had the chance to drive a few. We had the 355 for an entire week at my Dad's house, they were trying to get him to buy it but my Dad is a Porsche man. In fact, here's his pristine 1991 Carrera 4S I was driving around last week when i was back east. :)

He had a Turbo Cabriolet a few years back but sold it, didn't like it as much.

My Dad's previous home. I know, it's a bit over the top. It's actually a Normandy style home built around 1929-1930. They sold it a few years back to "downsize" after Reed and Caroline went off to University. Here's a pic that kind of shows the front, as well and Jamie, Caroline, and our cousin Sally's feet sticking out of a snow cave we made last Christmas after a HUGE blizzard over the holidays. This house is more of a Georgian style but easier for my Dad to get around (he's in a wheel chair).
