Movember is Here!!!

Hi All

During Movember (the month formerly known as November) I’m growin’ a Mo!!!

That’s right, I’m bringing the Mo back because I’m passionate about changing men’s health and the fight against male depression and prostate cancer. Why…

* 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 die from breast cancer annually.
* Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females.

It’s a really great opportunity to raise awareness and get involved in a really fun and valuable initiative. Feel free to check out my ‘Mo-Growin’ progress below…

Anyway, just have a laugh or feel free to sponsor my Mo by going to http://www.movember.com/au/donate, enter the registration number which is 141092 and your credit card details. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.

The money raised by Movember is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue – the national depression initiative, which will use the funds to create awareness, fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and male 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: Movember Fundraising Outcomes.

Thanks for your support,
Jason
