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

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 2015,2016,2017,2018,2019,2020,2021,2022 & 2023. 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 2024. I have been a passionate Mo Bro since 2008 and this is my 17th 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 2024 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 .

Suicidal behaviours are defined as thinking about or planning taking one’s own life (suicidal ideation) or attempting suicide.

Understanding the prevalence of suicidal behaviours in Australia is important as this may help to reduce stigma, increase help-seeking behaviour and improve suicide prevention activities.

Many people experience thoughts of suicide:

In 2023, there were 3,214 deaths by suicide. The age-standardised suicide rate was 11.8 per 100,000.

Three-quarters of people who died by suicide were male.

Men had a higher age-standardised suicide rate (18.0 per 100,000) than women (5.8 per 100,000).

Males aged 55-59 years had the highest age-specific suicide rate. Males aged 45-49 years accounted for the largest proportion of deaths due to suicide (10%).

Females aged 50-54 years had the highest age-specific suicide rate (10.0 deaths per 100,000). They accounted for the largest proportion of female suicide deaths (11%).

HELP US ADDRESS THIS CHALLENGE IN 2024. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

People who experience suicidal ideation and make suicide plans are at increased risk of suicide attempts and those who experience all forms of suicidal thoughts and behaviours are at greater risk of dying by suicide

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…

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,

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.
