I was honoured to have completed the iconic TCS NY City Marathon as part of the Movember Team in 2018 and 2019. Voted the Highest Individual Fund Raiser in Australia in 2015,2016,2017, 2018, 2019 , 2020 and 2021. 2nd(2012) & 4th(2013). Won the Best Mo Space in 2012 & 2015. The unrelenting support of the communities of Mackay & Whitsundays is here for all to see and trusting they will get behind my campaign again in 2022. I have been a passionate Mo Bro since 2008 and this is my 15th consecutive campaign. Have been the Captain and Chief Motivator of an incredible group of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas in the MOV~ing Mackay Cricket Club since 2011. I thoroughly enjoyed my two TCS NYC Marathon experiences for Movember in 2018 and 2019 and am very proud that in 2019 with more Aussies in the Team we beat our efforts of yesteryears and created a new benchmark by raising the most monies by any Movember Marathon Team till date.

My 2022 MO Stache is inspired by MOVEMBER and what it stands for and the fight against the 2 main cancers in men namely Prostate Cancer and Testicular Cancer with the MO symbolising crab claws (symbol of Cancer in the zodiac) with a heart in the middle to symbolise Mental illness and Suicide Prevention .

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

THANK YOU TO THE 448 GENEROUS DONORS THAT MADE MY 2023 CAMPAIGN ROCK! The Moustache called and I answered for the 16th year in a row. I grew. I moved. I hosted. I did it in my own unique way. All for healthier men and a healthier world. The hairy season may be over but take a look at the year that was. The generosity of the caring communities of Mackay, Gladstone, St. Lawrence and Whitsundays is here for the world to see. If you ever needed proof this is God’s country this is it…

Day 30 of November 2023, I am 109.80% oof the way to raising my target of $60,000 dollars this year individually having already raised $65,878 and $ 638,350 since 2008. I have covered 392 kms(6.53 times the 60 kms for the 60 men who die each day globally from suicide every hour)- https://mobro.co/sanjeevbandi

Day 30 of November 2023 , as a Team we have raised $ 86,476 till date which is 144.13% of our target of $60,000 and covered 694 kms of our commitment of 500 kms which is 1.388 times our target and raised an incredible sum of $ 879,235.16 since 2011 as a Team from Mackay in regional Queensland and the Founding Member and Highest ever Fund Raising Team in the Movember Cricket Association Challenge having raised $86,476/180,199 which is 47.99% of the funds raised in 2023 in a Challenge with 76 Teams and 303 members - https://moteam.co/mov-ing-mackay-cricket-club

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,
Josh from Team Movember

Congratulations to the Australian Men’s Cricket Team, worthy winners against hosts India in the ICC World Cup final last night by six wickets.

Globally, we lose one man to suicide every 60 seconds.

Movember is encouraging fans to go ‘beyond the banter’ and to check in on a mate to ensure less men die for this largely preventable reason.

GET SUPPORT

GIVE SUPPORT

GO BEYOND BANTER
Being a man of more words is not about dialing up the banter. It is about carving out space for meaningful chats about the bigger stuff in life. From talking about the kids, the bills, a new job or a setback – the right conversation can make all the difference to a mate who might be struggling.

If we all dig a little deeper, we can help prevent more men from reaching a crisis point.

Thankfully, there are some solutions available. Dive in to my MO Space - https://mobro.co/sanjeevbandi or to www.mackayurology.com/movember-articles to browse A-Z of Men’s Health blogs for 2022 and 2023.

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,

The MOVEMBER 2023 journey from the clean shaven face of Day 1 to Day 11 or Remembrance Day. My ‘Crab Claw’ and ‘Heart’ inspired Mo Stache is just settling into its preferred shape but the funds seem to be outstripping the hair growth currently.

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

Congratulations to the Australian Men’s Cricket Team on winning the First Test against South Africa in 2 days at the Gabba today by 6 wickets. I am sorry that patrons willing to go blue for the day to raise the profile of Men’s Health, Mental Illness and Suicide Prevention on Day 3 of the test at the Gabba did not get the chance this year. It would have gone a long way to support the cause of raising awareness of Men’s Health within the community.
