Our Motivation

This year, Baker McKenzie is back for its 18th year of raising funds and awareness for Movember. Advancements in mental health have come a long way, but social stigmas still exist when it comes to issues like depression causing sufferers to grow increasingly isolated, and this intense feeling of being alone makes them feel as if they will never truly be understood. In high performance professional cultures, the perception that poor mental health could be seen as "weakness" is also something that many still struggle with on daily basis. Movember is an opportunity for us to change that narrative.

We derive sustenance from the presence of others, the sense that we're being heard, and ultimately the support of the community that surrounds us. Movember not only fosters those sort of environments, which everyone deserves to be a part of, but also funds vital research, community groups and initiatives in men's health. Every single dollar counts and we greatly appreciate your support.

We all have our reasons for participating, but a big part of the driver for our team leader DJ, is the passing of his best mate Jase Cronshaw (Coach) 3 and a half years ago from unexplained causes at the young age of 49.

Coach was a passionate advocate for mental health - both raising awareness of the issues and the opportunities for discussions and support, as well as using movement as a critical tool in managing his own and others' mental health. He was a Movember participant for well over a decade and one of the original founding run club leaders of [mo]re than a Run which has gone on to stellar success in the international Movember landscape.

The programs and awareness that Movember fund throughout our community don't just save lives, they immeasurably improve the lives of hundreds of people and communities that benefit from those saved lives and the contributions of those individuals back to society. Communities like V&B Athletic are critical to the fabric of that society and an environment in which people can say "I'm not OK" and be heard and accepted, or can simply come along and leave their worries at the door for a while, knowing that they will be supported by those around them in simply moving.
