Steph Brake & Lauren Thomas (Tassie Backbone)

$23,234

Target: $20,000
Our Motivation

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember Steph and Lauren are joining them from the wilds of lutruwita/Tasmania. Starting in October 2024, they're off on a 40-day trek to traverse Tassie's backbone raising awareness and funds... And having some adventure and fun along the way!

For Lauren, the motivation to support Movember stems from her firsthand experience in a male-dominated industry, witnessing the health challenges faced by her male mates in the outback mining sector. She's seen the impact of these challenges up close and is driven by a desire to make a difference in men's health. Lauren has been supporting fundraising efforts for Movember for over five years and this year she's levelling up.

Steph's dedication to supporting Movember is deeply personal. Having supported close male friends and family members through mental health crises, addiction and illness, she understands the importance of open conversations about men's mental health. Losing her dad to suicide as a child has fuelled her passion for suicide prevention and advocating for men's mental well-being.

Together, they are committed to raising awareness and funds for Movember's vital work to stop men dying too young from prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental ill-health and suicide.

Consider sponsoring a day or a leg : we suggest $10 per km - just name the day in your donation message & we'll give you a shout out from the wilderness.

Sponsor a peak - we suggest $/m elevation - name the peak in your donation message & if the weather is good we'll summit on the trail & dedicate the experience to you. ** if the weather is dangerous we'll come back & summit in a later month & better weather

We are hiking from the top to the bottom of Tasmania this Movember. We hit the trail/s on the 21st of October in Penguin, & plan to finish on the 28th of November in Cockle Creek. The trek is made up of the Penguin-Cradle trail, Overland track, bushbashing through the SW, Port Davey & South Coast tracks. Check out our insta, tiktok or Facebook to follow along.

This team hasn't posted any activities yet. Encourage them to get out there and embrace their sweaty Mo.
