Bacchus Marsh resident Matthew Clark is fundraising for men’s mental health during October and November.
Mr Clark is taking part in Movember for the fifth time to fundraise for men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and prostate and testicular cancer research.
Mr Clark said he aims to raise $10,000 in October alone. His grand total goal is $25,000.
“I really just thought that if I started early maybe I could raise a bit more,” he said.
“My first motivation was around the mental health and suicide prevention.
“I have family and friends, predominantly males, going through issues in those areas.
“I certainly have become more passionate over time.”
Mr Clark said the Movember charity’s work was important.
“It’s the leading charity for men’s health,” he said.
“It’s a great cause now in its 18th year… they provide enormous benefits.”
