As usual the unrelenting generosity and passion of the incredible communities of MACKAY and Whitsundays has shown through in 2019 and enabled me to raise $ 54,547 individually in 2019 till date and help raise $389,116 for Movember since 2008 from MACKAY in regional Queensland. As the Captain of MOV~ing Mackay Cricket Club (part of the Movember Cricket Challenge), I am extremely proud that we raised $ 71,440 out of the total of $ 286,750 raised by the Movember Cricket Challenge (24.91%) and $539,938.66 for the Challenge since inception in 2011.

Mo on!

It is the 8th of November 2019 and the majestic MO, I sported running the iconic 2019 TCS New York City Marathon 5 days ago after getting special permission to shave off after is gone and the new stubbles are starting to take shape to recreate the masterpiece again by the end of the month. Have managed to raise $44,270 till date personally and I have Captained Team MOV~ing Mackay Cricket Club to $ 51,218 to date with the support of the communities of Mackay and Whitsunday.

I was one of the finishers in largest marathon the world has ever seen in NYCM 2019 as part of the multinational Movember Team- 54,205 starters and 53,627 finishers which is 98.93% of starters. I was also part of 2018 NYCM finishers as part of the multinational Movember Team with the largest % of finishers worldwide ever when 52,812 finished out of 53,121 starters(99.4%) - thank you Movember for helping me be part of 2 WORLD RECORDS in my lifetime , I am eternally grateful ....

If people were possessed by reason, running a marathon would not work. But we are not creatures of reason, we are creatures of passion.
If you want to run. run a mile. If you want to experience a different life , run a marathon.I’ve learned that finishing a marathon is not just an athletic achievement. It is a state of mind; a state of mind that says anything is possible.Even if you run a slower than expected time, you succeed in a marathon when you finish. Everything you ever wanted to know about yourself , you can learn in 26.2 miles and I can swear by it having experienced it now first hand in 2018 and 2019......

Back to back finishes in the iconic New York City Marathon In 2018 and 2019 and the medals to match are more than I wished for. I am eternally grateful for Movember for believing in me and giving me this opportunity to be part of 2 amazing teams in both years. It was a privilege to come to know each and everyone of them and I hope the friendships we made will last a lifetime.

It is humbling to have been supported by more than 372 donors till date this year. I have been able to raise $ 31,300 today with the last donation from Michael Elliott and push the total raised by the MOV~ing Mackay Cricket Club in 2019 to $31,510 . As we had raised $ 468,498.66 since 2011 in our previous campaigns we have now officially raised over half a million dollars for Men's Health and Movember from Mackay. It is indeed a great pleasure and honor to represent Mackay and the Whitsundays in my quest and I will endeavor to make you all proud come 3rd of November 2019 in New York City.

Thanks to the unrelenting support of the communities of Mackay & Whitsundays again in 2019, I have been able to be the first in Australia and second worldwide to raise $ 20,395 Australian Dollars today on the back of 254 generous donations and 40.79% of the way towards my goal of AUD 50,000.
