November 5, 2018 by Kevin McKeever Leave a Comment

rock a mo save a bro movember 2018

Toss your razor and shaving cream, gents -- Movember 2018 is here. November is “Movember” -- "mo" being short for mustache. This is the month when men all over the world let their upper lips get fuzzy for the sake of bringing awareness to men's health issues. As it has done for the past several years, members of City Dads Group join three other father-friendly organizations to sprout whiskers under our noses to support the The Movember Foundation in its mission to promote awareness and raise money for men’s health issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and suicide … [Read more...]

Hadrian’s Wall start moebes

Editor's Note: On July 16, 12 fathers completed a hike across England along Hadrian’s Wall to raise money for a nonprofit camp that helps children of adults with cancer. Atlanta Dads Group member Michael Moebes was one of them, and here he chronicles the experience. Last week, we completed our much-anticipated walk from the Irish Sea to the North Sea along Hadrian’s Wall in northern England. It was the second life experience (the first one being going to war) I’ve had which I can now describe with the phrase, “I probably wouldn’t choose to do it again, but I wouldn’t take anything for … [Read more...]

Editor's Note: On July 12, City Dads Group sponsors the Dads4Kesem walk across the UK. Our goal: having our members and friends donate at least $1,000 in total to benefit the creation of the new Camp Kesem chapter at University of Maryland. In this post, one of those Dads4Kesem -- and L.A. Dads Group member -- Whit Honea writes about why he is making this trek.

Childhood. We all had one. We were all children and all that comes with it, and the experience thereof has greatly impacted our adult lives and our own parenting in ways that we may not fully … [Read more...]

Hadrians_Wall_Mile39

A dozen fathers, half of whom are City Dads Group members, will walk 80 miles -- sea to sea -- across northern England in July to raise money to benefit the children of parents with cancer and in the memory of one of their own. These fathers will hike along the historic Hadrian’s Wall, a fortification built in the first century A.D. that once marked the northernmost point of the Roman Empire, to support Camp Kesem. Kesem provides free summer camps and other events for the 3 million children nationwide affected by a parent battling cancer. The camp has 70 chapters in 34 states. The … [Read more...]
