'A lot of men think they are invincible. But there things you can't control' - Movember ambassadors Mack Hansen, Andrew Porter, Richie Sadlier and Philip Doyle open up

Richie Sadlier, former footballer and psychotherapist, reflects on the hesitations surrounding his Movember moustache, admitting, 'I don't think my wife is mad on the idea...' This personal conflict highlights the social implications of changing one's appearance to discuss vital health issues.

Mack Hansen, ambassador for Movember, emphasizes that the movement transcends just being about moustaches: 'It's an opportunity to engage with deeper issues like mental health and provide support for men facing challenges that often go unspoken.'

Philip Doyle praises the evolution of Movember into a broader conversation about men's health, stating, 'When I first heard about Movember, I thought it was only about growing facial hair; now it’s a much larger campaign addressing mental health and well-being among men.'

Andrew Porter mentions the importance of community engagement, saying, 'As athletes, we have a platform to address these critical issues and initiate conversations that might inspire men to seek help or share their experiences.'
