KENT RIVER CHARITY 4X4
Have fun doing good!
I'm hosting a charity 4WD/Camping trip Following a 140 kilometre water course from Tenterden down to Owingup Swamp before ending up at the ocean at Irwin Inlet.
This road trip is roughly 1000kms from Perth to Perth and highlights include:
The town of Tenterden.
Multiple river crossings (bridges),
Camping, beers and awards night at Miller’s Basin Campsite
Ending the following day at the shoreline of Irwin Inlet.
At camp well be shaving of our mo's and possibly the heads of any bloke who "forgot" to grow a dodgy looking moustache.
I'm in the process of finding prizes for "best in show mo', "seediest mo" "best driver", "best balls up" and "MVP" awards for the trip.
Let me know if your keen on coming along, the donation towards mens health will be just $20 but if you would like to donate more your obviously more than welcome.

If your still not sold on the idea here's a brief history of this amazing charity.
In 2003, two mates from Melbourne were having a quiet beer when their conversation turned to recurring fashion trends. The moustache, a fixture in past decades, was nowhere to be seen. They joked about bringing it back They decided to talk their other friends into growing a Mo. Inspired by a mate’s mum who was fundraising for breast cancer at the time, they decided to make their efforts about men’s health and prostate cancer. They designed the rules of Movember (which are still in place today) and agreed to charge ten dollars to grow a Mo. They found 30 guys willing to take up the challenge. Those first 30 Mo Bros grew their moustaches with such enthusiasm that in 2004 a decision was made to formalise the concept and get all participants growing for a cause. Since then, Movember has created a men’s health movement of more than 5 million supporters around the world. They've funded 1,250+ (and counting) men’s health projects across 20 countries, such as TrueNTH Prostate Cancer and TrueNTH Testicular Cancer, which put tools like decision support, lifestyle management, and symptom tracking into the hands of men who need it. Movember is one of the largest nongovernment investors in research and quality-of-life initiatives for men that impact the global population. In 2018, NGO Advisor ranked Movember 45th out of the top 500 NGOs worldwide. Now that’s something. Our fathers, partners, brothers and mates are facing a health crisis that isn’t being talked about. Men are dying too young. Long before their time. As the leading charity changing the face of men’s health, they are taking action. We need to stop men dying too young. 2030 GOALS Around the world, men die on average six years younger than women and for largely preventable reasons. By 2030, the ambition is to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25%. Since 2003, Movember has prompted billions of conversations about men’s health, encouraging men to understand the health risks they face, talk more openly about their health and to take action when necessary. These conversations have paved the way for our ambitious 2030 goals to: ●01 Halve the number of deaths from prostate cancer and testicular cancer ●02 Reduce the rate of male suicides by 25% 03 Halve the number of men experiencing serious mental and physical side effects from treatment of prostate cancer or testicular cancer. But to get there, they need our help. So what better way then heading out for a good time for a good cause: To raise much-needed funds for men's health.
