Paddy Kavanagh taking on the Movember challenge for Samaritans
Movember originated in Melbourne, Australia, in 2003 when a group of friends decided to bring back the moustache as a fashion statement and raise awareness for men's health issues. The idea quickly gained traction, and they decided to use the movement to support prostate cancer research and men's mental health initiatives. Since then, Movember has grown into a global phenomenon, with millions of participants worldwide growing moustaches every November to raise funds and awareness for men's health causes.
East Coast Samaritans are thrilled to announce that Paddy Kavanagh is participating in the Movember challenge this year to raise funds and awareness for our branch based in Arklow. We are incredibly grateful that Paddy has chosen to support us through this initiative.
Paddy's dedication to growing a moustache throughout November is not just a fun endeavor but a powerful statement of solidarity with those facing mental health challenges. His efforts will help us continue providing vital support to individuals in our community who are in emotional distress.
Paddy said, "I chose East Coast Samaritans to highlight the fantastic service that is being provided and to promote mental health. We are all affected by mental health in some way or another, and I want to support the efforts of the resources that are available."
We invite everyone to join us in supporting Paddy's Movember journey. Donations can be made through Paddy's GoFundMe page by clicking here Every contribution, no matter the size, will support us to be here to support callers in need of emotional support.
Thank you, Paddy, for your support and commitment to making a positive impact. Together, we can make a difference.
