"Somebody loses their somebody every day//But you'll never really know what it's like until it happens to you"
- Until It Happens To You, Sasha Alex Sloan

Mental health overall needs to be destigmatised; we all know this, but we're too scared to do anything about it. We take the time out of our days to listen to someone give a speech about someone's so-and-so who tragically lost their lives, and then we get back to our none-to-fives once lunch hour is over.

Then suddenly it's you either living with someone in that terrible situation, or you're living in it yourself.

Someone very close to me has been battling with his mental health for a long time, before I even knew him. Over the last six months, it has been heart-breaking to see him try to go through everything by himself, as he felt no one could help him and so would never reach out. I cannot even imagine what he's been going through, how he feels and just how futile everything must seem to him.

He's just shy of his 18th birthday - too young and too soon, should he follow through with his plans.

All 60 men per minute is too soon, regardless of age.

I'll be running 60km over the course of November (more if I can manage it!) so that next year, more people will be aware of the issue and the stigma will be that little bit less prevalent in society. Feel free to follow along with me, and please donate if you can!

Take a deep breath and take a bow. Because it’s official, you made it!

You’ve been with us on the journey to change the face of men’s health and we couldn’t be more grateful.

It is because of you that this Movember was the Schools Challenge's most successful ever! This year we had over 1150 more School Mo's than last year, 200 more school communities participate in the month and lastly you have collectively raised over $720,000 for critical men's health projects, that's $50,000 more than last year! But we aren't finished yet School Mo's.

A reminder that leaderboards officially close at 3pm AEDT on Tuesday December 12. Donations can still be received after this time but this is the cutoff to crown our 2023 Movember champions in the School leaderboards!

Keep sharing those photos on the Movember Schools Challenge - it really is so inspiring seeing what you Mo's are up to in your school community! Challenging outdated masculine stereotypes and creating an environment where young people can be vulnerable and their true authentic self.

From the tips of our Mo's to the bottom of our hearts - THANK YOU!

We are 17 days into the Hairy Season and boy are things heating up!

We have 629 School Communities all across Australia taking part in the hairy season this year. That is 150 more Schools than last year and testament to the passion of the school community in opening space for honest conversations. Bravo!

Mo’s - If you haven’t yet, it’s time to start planning your end of month Mo celebrations, Move events or any opportunity that brings you and your school community together to continue setting the scene for young people to be vulnerable and the power of conversation.

It ain't Scary being Hairy,

Mo 22 - those Mo's will be feeling furrier, your legs fitter and your events ready to pop off!

With Moriah College out in front on the Schools Leader board competition is heating up for second spot - with the Farrer Year 12 cohort currently edging out one of my favourite team names 'Who let the Mo's out' from Trinity College Gawler.

Regardless of the fundraising figures - keep parading that furry top lip, moving your MOstest, 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.

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!

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

Mo On,
