Hi Mo Team,

Well done on your amazing efforts so far! I think the walks have been a fantastic addition to the Movember Move challenge, and as someone who walks a lot I tend to find them useful as a mental health recharge but also a good way to check in on mates in a way that feels a little less overwhelming.

Please enjoy this photo from the Swan Bridges walk, where I was behind a few minutes taking photos for the DFES socials (typical) and subsequently set off in the opposite direction to the main group! Luckily I had a couple of fellow latecomers to chat with along the way.

Well done Mo Bro's and Mo Sisters!

We've over taken the WA Police to reclaim the number one spot as WA's leaders in the Mo First Responder Challenge.

There's just over a week to go for this years challenge so let's keep pushing to that finish line.

Please be aware for those of you who are able to attend that we will be hosting the Movember Awards ceremony at the Cockburn ESC on the 1st of December at 10am (Training Room 1). We'd love to see as many Mo Bro's and Sisters join us to celebrate the most outstanding efforts in this years challenge (and to award the inaugural Mo-Phy).

Movember isn't really about luscious moustaches.... they're just awesome by themselves.

It's about raising awareness and research funds to help the men in our lives share their lives with us longer.

Depression leading to suicide and testicular cancer needlessly kills our young men, prostate cancer prematurely kills too many older men.

Everyone in DFES who spreads the word or donate to this great cause...... I think you're doing great work!!!

Morning Mo Legends

A happy snap from the first Move for Movember walks attended by Murdoch CFRS, District Officers and numerous HR&S staff. There are more planned for the rest of the month so keep an eye out for them.

10 days in and some stellar first up efforts.

A quick update on the National Mo First Responder Challenge, DFES is currently positioned third just behind the WA Police who got off to quick start this year.

Challenge accepted, let's chase them down and make sure DFES remains the leader in the state of WA for emergency services and first responders.

Mo On !

Almost the last week, time to give it that extra little push to get to the finish line and maintain that 1st place in Mo First Responder Challenge !

Unbelievable effort by Kwinana VFRS in addition to our ongoing individual leader Steven Crawford SES. Way to lead by example.

If the rest of us can close the gap a little on the DFES leaders than we're going to come home strong!

We've taken the lead in the first responders challenge, just ahead of QFES (insert party balloons here) let's keep it up!

It's the mid way point and DFES is only marginally behind QFES for first place in the National Mo First Responders Challenge.

Let's come how with a strong push to finish off the month and take that first position!

Kwinana and Gosnell's Vollies still smashing it and some great efforts so far from the Kal, Vincent and Bushfire Centre of Excellence crews!

Please look for opportunities to push and promote any host events to round out the campaign and keep an eye out for the Move for Movember walk dates coming up still (18th - Hillary's, 24th Swan River Bridges and 30th Port Beach).
