Thank you to those of you that have already donated or joined the MOnash team.

An update from Italy - the food is great and the MO is coming along well.

I found a barber shop last weekend in Firenze who's speciality was sculpting baffi - unfortunately they were closed for lunch at the time I was heading past - not that much could be done with mine...

I'm currently at 38% of my $6300 target

Please donate online here


The MOnash University Team are well on the way to reaching our target of $10,000 at 51%.

Onash University are coming second in the Movember Schools Challenge

Let's get to position number 1 and break our target goal.

With your generosity and support these I believe targets can be reached and in the process  support research of testicular and prostate cancer as well as mental health and suicide prevention.

A reminder that Monash Movember KeepCups are available from the Monash Bookshop or online through the Monash Shop

Good MO-ning,
Just 1 week to go before the MO comes off.

Thank you to those who've supported and donated so far - a very impressive $3731 has been raised this year and since 2011 the amount is a huge $20,896.

I still need your help reaching my goal of $5000 for this year.

Please help make this happen by donating online.

Donating towards Movember provides support for men's health initiatives including mental health, research into prostate and  testicular cancer - some of which comes back into Monash University research teams.

The challenge for selecting the style and colour has heated up with the top donations both at $150 from the following:
Marijana Bacic

Martin Doulton

Want to make me look ridiculous?
Want to save my face?
Make a donation over either Marijana or Martin - pick the desired style or colour.

Donating is Fast, Easy and Secure - Please Donate Now

I'll be wearing the selected style and colour MO until Friday 2 Dec.

Have a great hump day.

To those who've donated - thank you for your support so far in my 2016 Movember Campaign.

With your generosity and support for this year I'm currently at 56% of my goal - $2807
My goal is $5000

The MO is coming along well (picture below) and ready to have the chosen style and colour applied once selected.

At the moment the current leaders for highest donations are:

Simon Barrett - $130
David Copolov - $125

At this rate Simon has currently selected the Trucker and David will pick the colour.

Want to pick a different style or colour?
Want to make me look ridiculous?
Want to save my face?

There is now less then 1 week before the MO begins to grow.

Donations for Movember go towards raising funds to tackle some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and poor mental health.

This year we've created a single Monash University MoTeam.

My individual target for this year is $5000

As with previous years donating online is safe, secure, easy and fast
I'lll also accept cash donations for which you'll also be issued a receipt.
Donations are all Tax Deductible.

Firstly thank you for the donations that have come through so far, a huge effort of $2,230.

I'm now more then half way to reaching my goal of $4000.

In this month of MOvember I'm trying to make the challenge as fun as possible so I've been on a quest to find look-a-likes... (I'm taking suggestions for donations).

I've found my cartoon look-a-like Mario.

Another look-a-like coming soon -

In the mean time a donation towards MOvember would be greatly appreciated.

You can donate securely, safely and easily online @ http://mobro.co/ruberto

The Movember campaign seeks to build awareness of men's issues and to improve men's health through providing healthy, active lifestyle information, funding research into the most common cancers found in men and more. For more info on what they do, visit the Movember Foundation website.

Once again a huge thank you for your ongoing support.

And I hope it grows more before I have to MO it...
Week 2 update: still in slow MO.

With your support - already a massive $1400 raised towards supporting testicular cancer, prostate cancer, poor mental health and physical inactivity.

Over the past 4 years I've been the number one campaigner at Monash University and every year I've reached the MO Platinum Club and I've already hit the milestone this year as well.

That's a longer streak then Hawthorn.

All of this is only possible with your generous support - thank you.

My target for the 2015 MOvember campaign is $4000, so there's still some work to be done...

Donating is quick easy and secure online: http://mobro.co/ruberto

I'm happy to take cash donations as well (email receipt provided).

Thank you all again for your support.

These are some of the prizes I've received over the years:

Hi All,

Welcome back to another year of MOvember.

For the 5th consecutive year I'm up to the challenge of growing a MO for raising funds and awareness of men's health, depression and raising physical activity.

Over the past 4 years with your great assistance I've been able to raise a mind blowing $12,500.

To support the cause donations are now live online @ http://mobro.co/ruberto

This year there won't be any horsing around (well except for yesterday).

Day one...

A few days into it and I still look freshly shaved from this morning...

It's going to be a long MOnth.

We have regenerated the MOnstash Uni Movember Team - http://moteam.co/monstache-uni

Donating is easy and is greatly appreciated. You can donate online at: http://mobro.co/ruberto
