Target: $2,000

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

Globally, more than 1.4 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. Movember is working to reduce the number of men dying from the disease, and I want to do my part.

Prostate cancer has affected my own family. Thankfully, because it was detected early, they were able to get the treatment they needed. It’s a powerful reminder that getting checked early can make all the difference.

Help me support Movember and stop men dying too young.

$2,000 = the beard comes off!

I’ve had a full beard and moustache for 18 years. In fact, my children have never seen me without a beard.

So, if I raise $2,000 for Movember, I’ll shave the whole lot off and introduce my kids to the strange man who’s apparently been hiding underneath it all these years.

As an added bonus, my wife says she’ll divorce me if I do it...So really, it’s win-win.

Please donate generously.

Oooooh an 18-year identity reveal. I'm donating for the children. They deserve to know who their father is

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 Government & Council Challenge.

Collectively, this community of 1,376 Mo’s from 245 teams across Australia raised an incredible $434,129. 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 Government and Council 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 time for a final push and share those Mo Spaces far and wide! Could there be a late shift in the top 5?

It's not over 'til it's Mo-ver,
Josh from Team Movember

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

After only 15 days, the Mo Government and Council Challenge is sitting just shy of $100,000 raised. This community is well and truly changing the face of men's health.

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

Government and Council 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 425 of you incredible people signed up and you've already raised an incredible $13,500. And it's only the 1st of Movember?!

So share those Mo Spaces far and wide, keep encouraging your colleagues and community 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
