COMMUNITY

Eumundi Mo-Tribe

The Eumundi Mo-Tribe kicked off their 8th annual campaign to resist the razor and raise funds and awareness of men’s health with a great opening night on 1 November at The Imperial Hotel, Eumundi.

A big crowd gathered to launch this year’s effort with speeches, raffles and great camaraderie. This year our hairy heroes are also raising funds for Qld Remote Area Tracking (QRAT) to aid these volunteers with the purchase of a trailer as they work to remove the suffering, misfortune and helplessness of those who are lost or victims of natural disasters.

An action-packed month of Movember activities continues over the next few weeks:

• Mondays & Wednesdays 4.30pm – Ultimate Frisbee, Eumundi Showgrounds

• 14 November 6pm – Speakeasy talk, The Imperial Hotel, Eumundi

• 16 November 7.30am – Hairy Hike, Noosa to Sunshine Beach

• 19 November 6.30pm – Trivia Night, The Imperial Hotel, Eumundi

• 24 November 9.30am – Car Rally, Eumundi Rural Fire Brigade Shed.

Movember packs are also available for $70 which include: a T-shirt, bag, wrist band and car sticker

– and the warm and fuzzy feeling of doing good and contributing to a great cause! It’s not just about raising money though – it’s about beginning conversations and challenging men to reach out and seek support, and to create a culture where men feel safe in asking for help.

And remember – it ain’t scary to be hairy!
