During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’ve shaved my beard and I’m sporting a beautifully manicured Mo. Yes, every day Joy has to wake up next to a man with a Mo, and it’s all about tackling men’s health issues and being proactive in the fight against men’s depression and prostate cancer. But the best thing is that I get to pretend to be Errol Flynn for an entire month!!
Did you know:
Depression affects 1 in 6 men….most don’t seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer – equivalent to the number of women who will die from breast cancer annually.
To donate to my Mo you can either:
-
Click this link https://www.movember.com/au/donate/donate-details.php?action=sponsorlink®o=1853621&country=au and donate online using your credit card or PayPal account, or
-
Write a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation’, referencing my Registration Number 1853621 and mailing it to:
Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181
Remember, all donations over $2 are tax deductible.
The money raised by Movember is used to raise awareness of men’s health issues and donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue – the national depression initiative. The PCFA and beyondblue will use the funds to fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and depression.
For those that have supported Movember in previous years you can be very proud of the impact it has had and can check out the details at: [ Fundraising Outcomes ].
Movember culminates at the end of month Gala Partés. If you would like to be part of this great night you’ll need to purchase a [ Gala Parté Ticket ].

Thanks everyone, any donations no matter how small will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
