Wanting to Enter the Stags' Team
Here's How!
During Movember (the month formerly known as November) the Stags are growin' Mo's. That's right we're bringing the Mo back because we're passionate about changing men's health and the fight against male depression and prostate cancer and we want you on our team.
Our Mo Team is called The Hairy Reindeers.

We will have our shave down on Wednesday Night, the 31st of October at Chatswood oval after 1st/2nd squad training. All team members need to be there to shave and have photos taken.
Men's health is a major issue. Did you know:
- Depression affects 1 in 6 men...Most don't seek help. Untreated depression is a leading risk factor for suicide.
- Last year in Australia 18,700 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 2,900 died of prostate cancer - equivalent to the number of women who die from breast cancer annually.
- Men are far less healthy than women. The average life expectancy of males is 5 years less than females.
The money raised by Movember is donated to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and beyondblue - the national depression initiative, which will use the funds to create awareness, fund research and increase support networks for those men who suffer from prostate cancer and male depression. |
