  • MEDIA RELEASE Aussie Batsmen Set to Don the Mo in Movember
    MEDIA RELEASE Aussie batsmen set to don the Mo in Movember THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 25, 2018 – Australia T20 International captain Aaron Finch is leading the Mo-brigade this summer as a trio of Aussie cricketers throw their support behind the Movember Foundation’s ambition to stop men dying too young. Finch is no stranger to growing moustaches in November and raising money for the men’s health charity, but he said there’s more to Movember than meets the lip. “It’s really important to keep encouraging men to get checked out and not be afraid to talk about health issues, whether it be mental health or physical health,” Finch said. “If one person can take something positive out of the month, then it’s been a good campaign.” Last year, over $240,000 was raised for the Movember Foundation through Cricket Australia and the wider cricketing community, and with the partnership entering its 11th straight year in 2018, sights are set on an even greater fundraising target. The Movember Foundation is the official men’s health charity partner of Cricket Australia, and is an intrinsic part of the Cricket Cares program, which aims to use cricket as an agent of change in the community. Western Australian big-hitter Marcus Stoinis and Victorian Captain Peter Handscomb will join Finch in growing Mo’s in the name of men’s health, with the latter participating for the first time due to the cause being close to his heart. “I’m on board for Movember this year because I’ve personally been affected by prostate cancer; my father had it so it’s really close to me.
