My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health
Mental health and suicide prevention

Throughout recent years I've come to understand the importance surrounding mental health, albeit through devastating circumstances, I'm glad to be able to see how a community can be formed through shared sadness to bring about awareness for a great cause.

Having personally suffered the effects of adverse mental health, the act of seeing others speak out and share similar experiences drove me to do the same and is something I wish to help others do. Those who were able to show me that asking for help is the strongest thing a person can do at that time propelled me to be a better version of myself.

Losing a mate to this illness is one of the hardest things one can experience and something I never wish to do again. Keeping his spirit alive through ambassadorship and raising awareness is the rationale behind my involvement.

Feel free to donate as little or much as you desire and thank you #ForRocket

Moustaches have been shaved, leaderboards have been closed, and eternal glory has been achieved.

It is my great honour to announce the Top 5 from this year’s Mo University Challenge.

Collectively, this community of 1,353 Mo’s from 291 teams across Australia raised an incredible $285,386. Just unbelievable.

This is where change is being made. You are the people creating a better future for men’s health. So from the tips of our moustaches to the bottom of our hearts, thank you to each and every one of you for the wonderful impact you’ve made.

Keep on changing the world,
Josh from Team Movember

Some serious movement in the rankings, and even more serious funds raised, with the Mo Uni Challenge cracking $200,000 for 2023!

These funds go directly to lifesaving programs, helping men live healthier, longer lives. Every one of you has made that possible - thank you.

The leaderboards don't close until the 12th of December, so put in that final push and share those Mo Spaces far and wide! Could there be a late shift in the top 5?

Time to bring it home,

Wow oh wow. Halfway through and we are blown away by your support.

We've had 24-hour relays, 60km solos, moustache tattoos... and we're only getting started.

Uni Mo's of Australia, give yourselves a huge pat on the back and keep up the incredible work. A big couple of weeks of goodness on the way.

Inspired by you all,
Josh from Team Movember

Monash MOs, WOW! It's been incredible seeing all the shave downs, moves made and $2.5K funds raised, and it's only the FIRST DAY of Movember!!

Feel free to keep on rallying those last minute teammates or join aboard as a solo fundraising warrior - the more support we can get the better.

We're looking forward to seeing what Monash University does this Movember. If there's any questions or any way in which we can support you (including providing social media templates and handy guides + materials), then please reach out to us.

Uni Mo's of Australia, we are LIVE!!!

Just like that, Movember has begun. So shave down those upper lips, get those running shoes on, and start shouting about the amazing cause that is men's health.

We've got 658 of you incredible university Mo's signed up and you've already raised an incredible $33,000. And it's only the 1st of Movember?!!

So share those Mo Spaces far and wide, keep encouraging your mates to sign up, and keep on changing the face of men's health. Thank you for everything you're doing.

It's Mo time,
Josh from Team Movember

Uni Mo's - Those follicles have hit the floor, Moves have been made, events hosted and epic challenges ticked off. On behalf of Movember I'd like to pass my congratulations to you all on a Hairy Season well had.

The Mo University Challenge has raised $348,000 this year making it the most successful University fundraising year ever!

The leader boards will be closed off on the 12th of December so their is still time for you to hustle for those last min donations!

Thanks again for all your hairy efforts & happy holidays

It's Mo 22 - those Mo's will be feeling furrier, your legs fitter and your events ready to pop off! I'd love to see a couple of snaps of your Mo's posted on the Challenge page.

Boy it is close up the top of the University Challenge leader board - with QUT currently edging out the top fundraising university for the last three years UQ - with Monash following in a close third.

Regardless of the fundraising figures - keep parading that furry top lip, starting conversations and keeping your communities connected. Your are all doing such a fabulous job and all of us at Mo HQ are so grateful to be your Roadies.

ONE DAY TO MO.

I hope those follicles are fretting and those sneakers are laced up as tomorrow we MO!

Make sure you SHAVEDOWN tomorrow so those upper lip slugs grow fresh from the 1st of Movember!

Mover's - get cracking on Mo 1 and make sure you post a pic! Can't wait to see all of the pic's posted in this Challenge!

No matter what you do for Movember your effort are inspiring change and stopping men from dying too young.

Mo On,
Ollie
