Kasha thanks for this fact....this is a cause near & dear to my heart as I have family members that passed away as a result of this due to genetic predisposition.. Cheers to Nick & Shawn for raising the awareness & I pray all the research being done will yield the the cure for PC some day.

My father-in-law died from prostate CA. I have another close family member that battled it and is cancer free now.(hopefully forever)

Good on him!!!!...& Nick, of course.

However, the method is a little shady...me thinks SB is trying to make himself look a little shinier than before, but I won't change my opinion of him until he publicly apologizes to Nick for his misconduct towards him. Than I will take the guy more seriously. Otherwise, it's a noble thing he is doing (regardless of a few strategic PR reshaping undertones.)
It's so strange that he got his girl in the end and yet he still feels inferior to Nick (of course he does if he felt like he had to do this whole "Join MY team" publicly instead of privately). It just reeks of "one-up-ness" to me....He needed the backbone of his fan-hood, I guess? I can have this opinion of SB but still be proud of him for putting himself out there (baby steps...)
I'm simply stating my opinion and analysis of the situation and sooooo not trying to demean the cause in any way. So happy to see all the passion surrounding this great cause on both sides of the aisle.

Eh, they're both benefitting from the PR associated with this. Both using their former 'feud' and association with #bachelorette #thebachelorette.

I won't give kudos to just one and criticize the other, as much as I like one and dislike the other . They're doing the exact same thing IMO.

Agree! I give kudos to both for doing this for the cause. It's not only a win-win for Nick and Shawn but for the cause as well.

I think the Movember cause is great and I applaud both of them for supporting Men's Health.   

However I beg to differ, Nick has never used Shawn's feud with him to advance himself in anyway.  Shawn reached out and Nick is being gracious in responding.        JMO

It's obvious who needed who. One didn't need the exposure, he already has another link with donations for another cause at 67% of his goal and has taken part in many previous charities, without Shawn.

Shawn could have taken the initiative for the cause with any one of the previous contestants. He chose Nick. Nick didn't choose him.

Not so obvious to me personally, I just disagree that Nick was 'needed' for anything. The overly manufactured, producer driven drama from last season? Sure, but Nick himself? I guess I don't get it. He has a fraction of their SM following and isn't viewed that highly among casuals IMO, but I guess every penny counts so it can't hurt. He probably could use the press and followers hike Shawn's invitation gave him. But I will just assume that this is about the cause and not one bitter party using the other charitable do-gooder.

Like stated before, it was a win-win for both guys. The main thing is that it raises money for a charity. Not such a bad thing imo.

From the looks of things most of the Ette alums Nick gave a shout out too are rallying to the cause.  Good for them for joining and good for Nick for maintaining such great friendships with these guys.

It was great Shawn got the ball rolling with the charity by inviting Nick and great that Nick took the next step and got other guys involved. I am just happy to see them working together for a good cause.

So Nick should say thanks to Saint Shawn, because he can now get more attention! Nick is always this calculated, isn't he? He must have known one day he would need Shawn so he's been waiting for this to come.

OTOH, Saint Shawn not only help raising awareness to the men health issues, but he put the differences aside and used his fan base to help Nick to get more attention. What a wonderful guy he is.
