G’day fellow Southenders,
This November the committee has decided to get hairy and grow a moustache for Movember.
We want to be active participants in the movement that is changing the face of men's health. We are also committed to tackling men's health issues and being proactive in the fight against men's depression and prostate cancer...and we want you on our team. Our team is registed as Southend Boardriders Maroubra.
To join our Movember team go to http://au.movember.com/au/register and follow the steps. Once registered you'll be sent all the information you need to get donations and get growing as part of the Movember team.
You will need these details to complete your online registration:
Men's health is a major issue. Did you know:
- Depression affects 1 in 6 men....most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
- Every year 2,900 Australian men die from prostate cancer and over 18,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer.
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 ].
Cheers,
Matt
