Any true blue BBQing Australian bloke knows that there are certain things such as health issues and feelings that just aren’t meant to be talked about, right? Well, as they say the times they are a changin’ and many men across the country are doing their bit this month to raise awareness of men’s health issues such as depression and prostate cancer.

Three men from the Heat Beads® Team are doing their best grow a ‘mo’ for Movember. Damien (Sales and Marketing Manager), Malcolm (Finance Manager) and Jason (Systems Administrator) have been brave enough to take part in this fantastic fundraiser that has proved to be quite a bit of fun!

To see their progress so far, take a look at the pics below.

In its fifth year, Movember is one of the most successful fundraisers for mens health in the country, having raised over $24 million in total. The money is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and Beyond Blue, the national depression intiative. These are particularly worthy causes when you consider some of the stats:

* 1 in 6 men are affected by depression and most don’t seek help
* In Australia last year, 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of the disease, making it as prevalent in men as breast cancer in women.
