We will start with a clean shaven face on the 1st of Nov 2019 as usual & try to emulate our feats from 2018 when we raised $ 91,731 to be the 3rd Highest Fund Raising Team in Australia and 15th worldwide with the support of the community. Since 2011 we have raised an amazing $ 468,498.66 as a Team of Mo Bros from Mackay in 8 campaigns($ 29301.85 in 2011, $ 39328 in 2012, $ 44920.15 in 2013, $ 53004.09 in 2014, $59,499.69 in 2015, $ 67023 in 2016, $ 83690.88 in 2017 and $ 91731 in 2018) with the unrelenting support of the generous community of Mackay and Whitsundays.

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

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…

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.
