Mark Murawski
5  year  Mo Bro

$500

Target: $1,000
raised $2,705 since 2019
My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Mental health and suicide prevention

Thought I'd mix it up for Movember 2024 & start with a complete MO, which I have had for several months & I'm very attached to it!!
(family not so impressed)
I am still looking to raise funds but will only remove my MO if I am able reach the $1000 mark.

Australia has always been known as the lucky Country. If this is true, why is it that so many Men & Women commit suicide every year?

Suicide Statistics - from WWW.LifeLine.org.au (2024 stats)
• 8.6 Australians die every day by suicide. That’s more than double the road toll (ABS, 2022)
• 75% of those who take their own life are male (ABS, 2022)
An unknown number of Australians attempt suicide every year, with some estimates suggesting this figure may be over 65,000 (Slade et al, 2009).
Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australians between the ages of 15 and 44 (AIHW, 2022a)
• The suicide rate in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples is twice that of their non-Indigenous counterparts (ABS, 2022)
• People in rural populations are 2 times more likely to take their life by suicide (AIHW, 2022b)
• LGBTIQ+ community members report having attempted suicide in the past 12 months at a rate 10 times higher than the general Australian population (Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, 2021; Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society, 2020)
• Beyond the tragic loss of the person, the impact of suicide deaths are felt by up to 135 people, including family members, work colleagues, friends, first responders at the time of death (Cerel et al, 2019)
• Males aged 85 and older experience the highest age-specific rate of suicide (ABS, 2022)
• An estimated 1 in 3 of Australians reported feeling lonely (AIHW, 2021). Lifeline is here to listen
• Lifeline is Australia’s largest suicide prevention service provider.

• Each year, over 1 million Australians reach out to Lifeline for support
• Lifeline’s 13 11 14 crisis support line receives a call every 28 seconds
• Lifeline’s network of 41 centers, 10,000 volunteers, and 1,000 employees provide a lifesaving national infrastructure for those experiencing immense pain and anguish
• There are 3,500 Crisis Supporters working with Lifeline so that no person in Australia has to face their darkest moments alone

• Please help ME raise funds to ensure this Suicide rate is lowered and ensure that Australia remains the lucky Country for everyone

thank you,
Mark Murawski

As Movember ticks over the half way point, the MO & my target are making good progress. But more donations are needed to reach the goal of $1000. My family are not a fan of me with a MO, so to add a twist, I don’t plan on shaving the MO off until I pass my target!! Australia has always been known as the lucky Country. If this is true, why is it that so many Men & Women commit suicide every year? Help me & others this Movember to raise funds to reduce the suicide rate. Thank you
