‘Mo Sista’ Annette Montebello is captain of the Kingaroy SHS Movember team<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 9, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s Movember! The time of year when many men choose to grow hair on their top lip. \u00a0But this year, there’s going to be quite a few high school students in Kingaroy aiming to join them …<\/p>\n

Movember is an annual fundraiser for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia, Beyond Blue and various men’s health education awareness initiatives run by the Movember Foundation.<\/p>\n

The concept began in Melbourne in 2003 with just 30 participants; \u00a0it is now an annual event in 15 countries and last year had 854, 288 registered moustache-growers.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy State High School students – and teachers – will be joining in the fun this year for the first time.<\/p>\n

At least six teachers and 16 students from Years 11-12 have signed up for the Kingaroy SHS team<\/p>\n

They have raised a little over $500 in just a few days, so they’re hopeful their target will keep on growing (much like their “mo”s).<\/p>\n

Kingaroy State High School school-based Youth Health Nurse – and official “Mo Sista” – Annette Montebellow said one in nine Australian men will develop prostate cancer by the age of 85.<\/p>\n

“Many people don\u2019t realise that close to 3300 men die of prostate cancer annually which is equal to the number of women who die from breast cancer,” she said.<\/p>\n

The school’s Movember project will end with a “Shave Off” on November 30 at the school. The winner of the “best grown moustache” will also be announced.<\/p>\n

Donations to support the school team can be made via the official Movember website<\/a><\/strong>: \u00a0click on “Donate” in the main menu and search for “Kingaroy SHS”.<\/p>\n

PS. \u00a0Movember is also the reason why some other well-known\u00a0local residents have begun sporting moustaches, including Jason Frecklington (from Gloria Jean’s Coffees) and Cr Damien Tessmann. There are also teams at Nanango RSL, Kingaroy Plumbing Works and Yarraman Pharmacy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
