Movember

A few of the team are participating in Movember. And together are growing library Mo's



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.



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.
You can make a donation to the cause here

And come back each week to check out the progress.

So far we look like this:
