THE current craze for Movember, raising awareness of men’s health issues, especially cancer, is in full swing and has been enthusiastically embraced by The Irish Field’s Leo Powell and Mark Costello. The two are joined in growing moustaches this month by many colleagues in the Irish Farmers Journal and would welcome any support you can give them during this month. To make a donation online you can visit the ie.movember.com website and search for Leo Powell or Mark Costello and give what you can.

Alternatively you can pop a cheque in the post and send it to The Irish Field’s office. The first 250 readers of The Irish Field and the Irish Farmers Journal who join the Fovember team on http://moteam.co/fovember can do their part to raise team funds and the two papers will combine to give €20 for each person who joins the campaign. Do it now and help us to raise funds for an excellent cause. We hope to publish updated photographs of Leo and Mark as the challenge goes on.
