Metro Hotel on Pitt growing mos for Movember 2015
Metro Hotel on Pitt's general manager Simon Wanstall will be spearheading and growing a moustache to fundraise and increase awareness for Movember - an international charity event that's dedicated to men's health. He will be joined by other Mo Brothers and Sisters.
Throughout this year, Simon and his team have been working hard to fundraise for many worthwhile causes. Their current fundraising efforts have raised well over $2,500 for charities and offered in excess of 100 hours volunteer time.
This November is all about Movember!
About Movember:
Every year, thousands of men - someone's grandfather, father, brother, uncle, partner or friend - die from prostate and testicular cancer around the world. The impact of prostate and testicular cancer on lives is substantial, with prostate cancer being the second most common cancer in men worldwide and the number of cases expected to almost double to 1.7 million cases by 2030.
Moreover, poor mental health affects men more than women: three quarters of suicides are by men. The World Health Organisation estimates that 510,000 men die from suicide globally each year. That’s one every minute.
For men, this is not good news. On average, across the world, men die 6 years earlier than women. Thus, the Movember Foundation seeks to make a global contribution to men living happier, healthier, longer lives.
In 2010, Movember launches its first directly funded program – the Global Action Plan, created to accelerate prostate cancer research outcomes through global collaboration. Through Movember funding, the world’s first Prostate Cancer Genome Mapping Project was completed, expanding the understanding of how prostate cancer works.
Since it's inception in 2003, the Movember movement has raised more than AUD$685 million, which has funded over 832 men’s health projects, impacting the lives of millions.

About Pink Ribbon Day
Every day in Australia, around 50 women are told they have breast or a gynaecological cancer. Sadly around 12 Australian women will die from women's cancers each day.
Thanks to advancements in cancer research and prevention, the five year survival rate for breast cancer has increased by 17% from 1982 to 2012. The five year survival rate for women with a gynaecological cancer increased by 7% in the same period.
Your donations big and small, help Cancer Council work towards better treatments and prevention, provide hope for more survivors and support for women diagnosed with breast or a gynaecological cancer.

Jerry Hall Bringing The Graduate to Sydney
 |
| Jerry Hall bringing The Graduate to Sydney |
Jerry Hall is reprising her role as seductress Mrs Robinson for the very last time in the Sydney season of The Graduate.
Having already wowed audiences in this iconic piece of American culture in the West End, on Broadway and in Perth and Melbourne, Hall will make her way to Sydney's Lyric Theatre for a strictly limited season starting December 2.
'I am so thrilled the stars have finally aligned and I am bringing the sultry Mrs Robinson to Sydney,' the Texan Hall said in a statement.
'As this will be the last time I play this role it makes the Sydney season very special to me.
Adapted from Charles Webb's novel and the Oscar winning film, The Graduate is both a poignant coming of age story and a dark comedy.
The play is set against a soundtrack of some of the most memorable songs of the sixties including Wouldn't It Be Nice by The Beach Boys, Everybody's Talkin' by Harry Nilsson and, of course, The Sound Of Silence and Mrs Robinson by Simon Garfunkel.
NSW Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events, Stuart Ayres, said the NSW Government was 'delighted' to have secured the farewell season of The Graduate through tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW, and anticipated the production would deliver more than $1.6 million to the NSW economy.
