It’s almost Movember!

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) Rodney Bird is growing a Mo (that’s a “mustache”) and I’m helping him raise funds and awareness because I’m into guys tackling their own health issues by being proactive in the fight against men’s depression and prostate cancer. I also love moustaches.  

We need your support for this important cause, and you can watch the progress of Rod’s “MO” right here on the website starting 1 November!You can donate to Rod’s moustache by clicking the PayPal Donate link below to make a donation using your credit card or PayPal account:

Alternatively you can writing a cheque payable to ‘Movember Foundation’, referencing Rod’s Registration Number 1401526 and mailing it to:

Movember Foundation
PO Box 292
Prahran VIC 3181, Australia

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 ]. 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.
