Manly for Manly – Movember comes to town

The TravelSIM Waratahs Manly for Manly community program is in full swing in 2014, with the Movember campaign just about upon us. The Waratahs will be participating once again and are looking for you to help in our quest to raise $3k this year. There have even been murmurs that if we reach our target, Sam Alexander will dye his mo blue. Now that’s an incentive.

Movember has taken on a life of its own over the last few years, but it’s important to remember what we are doing this for. The Movember Foundation is the leading global organisation committed to changing the face of men’s health.

The Movember community has raised $580 million to date and funded over 800 programs in 21 countries. This work is saving and improving the lives of men affected by prostate cancer, testicular cancer and mental health problems.

The Movember Foundation challenges men to grow moustaches during Movember (formerly known as November), to spark conversation and raise vital funds for its men’s health programs. To date, 4 million moustaches have been grown worldwide, but we won’t stop growing as long as serious men’s health issues exist.

To see the impact Movember is making now please visit the Report Cards section of the Movember website which describes all of the projects they fund.

It is also great to see the SCA taking such an active role in encouraging it’s member clubs to take part in this event, and have some great prizes on offer. Thanks to Cricket NSW, the individual who raises the most money will win two tickets to the Doug Walters Club Function on Day Four of the Commonwealth Bank Test Match between Australia and India at the SCG. In addition, the winning club will receive 30 tickets to the Carlton Mid One Day International Tri-Series match between Australia and England at the SCG on January 18.

We are looking for as many players, supporters, sponsors, members, parents and friends to join our team and help raise money for an amazing cause.
