Movember

Ever wondered if you were cut out to clean the pool? Maybe you think Zorro is more your style? Well boys it is time to shave the whiskers and grow a mo' for a good cause.

The obvious question is why?

Men lack awareness about the very real health issues they face. There is an attitude that they have to be tough - "a real man" - and are reluctant to see a doctor about an illness or go for regular medical checks.

Movember aims to change these attitudes and make men's health fun by putting the Mo back on the face of fashion and in the process raise some serious funds for key men's health issues, including:

Prostate Cancer: because every year 2,900 Australian men die from prostate cancer and over 18,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Depression in Men: because one in six men experience depression at any given time but most don't seek help

When: Starting Saturday 1st of November (Ceremonial shaving at morning tea on the 31st of October for all participants), finishing on Friday 29th of November.
