Club President Jeff Kennett shares with Hawks members the trials and tribulations of a Hawthorn-style Movember:
To all of our players who participated in Movember this year, staff and supporters, my sincere thanks.
Movember is on its way to setting another record - and men’s health issues, anxiety, depression and prostate cancer will be the beneficiaries of funds raised.
So I thank all participants, their Mo Sisters and those who financially supported everyone who grew mos.
Sadly mine was influenced by the colour of my blood!
But all for a good cause, and the growth will be flushed tonight!
Cheers,
Jeff Kennett

- Generate awareness of depression, anxiety and related disorders
- Reduce the associated stigma
- Encourage men to talk about these conditions
- Encourage men to seek help for themselves or their mates
