My lunch date whipped out this killer 80s style cassette tape inspired iPhone case that I have my heart set on. I added the "makeout mix 6" using photoshop to complete the look. You can buy it for $12 on Amazon here.

One year ago today, Kyla and I got married in St. Lucia. These are the photos. The cannon photo is usally the most popoular one and was taken completely by accident.

It's official, our team raised $20,000 for Movember and prostate cancer research and awareness this year. The team, named The Proctologists, is made up of friends, work colleagues and my father, Peter Breikss, (pictured above) who was diagnosed with prostate cancer two weeks ago.

It is amazing that we were able to raise so much money in a short period of time and I am proud of everybody who participated and all of the people that supported us. Our fundraiser last week raised more than $6,000 in one day, and our donors and supporters contributed from far and wide. Thank you very much.

Our ranked #80 in Canada in total money raised with only 30 participants. 250,000 Canadians participated in Movember this year and raised more than $37 million for prostate cancer research. This represents more than one third of the $100 million raised globally for Movember this year. The amount of money raised was equivalent to a dollar raised from every person living in Canada!

It means a lot to me, and my father, to have such a strong community and support behind us.

My Dad had been into the doctor in October for some tests and then later a biopsy of his prostate. Yesterday the results came back and indeed he has prostate cancer. We were very optimistic that the test results were going to be negative so it came as a blow to our family and all of us that are close to him. The news came just 9 days before his 70th birthday, and this has to the shittiest birthday present ever. That being said, he is both strong and optimistic and we knew that there was a chance that he could have cancer when he went in for the tests last month.

My Dad decided to participate in Movember with me this year on our team called "The Proctologists". I have participated in Movember before with a couple of doctors, hence the name, but this is my Dad's first time. This year it's not just about growing a funny moustache and raising awareness, this time it's personal.

So far, our team has raised $7,000 through online donations and we are hosting a "Wine and Beer Tasting" next week on November 25th at 'Firefly Fine Wines and Ales' near Cambie and Broadway in Vancouver. You can buy tickets below and/or RSVP on Facebook.

If you are not available to attend the wine and beer tasting, please consider making a donation online at http://mobro.co/chrisbreikss/

My Dad and I appreciate all of your support and want people to know that it's important to have an annual health check up, especially if you are 40+. To keep informed of progress, please follow @chrisbreikss on Twitter or check back here.
