A report from Form V boys Henry Clements and Harry Hone on the various Movember challenges and events that took place to help raise funds for men’s mental and physical health charities. Henry and Harry have raised over €4500 so far.
Movember is often seen as a time to donate toward men’s health and cancer research. For us, Harry and Henry, it represents something deeper: the urgent fight against suicide, which tragically claims one man’s life every 60 seconds. We chose to raise both funds and awareness, determined to stop fathers, husbands, sons, and friends from being lost. Even though we began as two people with a goal, our cause inspired many other like-minded people to aid us in our goals.
Through challenges like countless push-ups, major golf and football tournaments, and the crowd-favourite milk mile, and our personal biggest achievement, climbing the highest mountain in North Africa, Mount Toubkal, our school united to make a difference. Special thanks to Karl and Ferdinand for organising the football tournament and moustache posts, Pearse for leading the milk mile, and everyone who supported, from donations to a simple Instagram like.
It’s not too late to contribute … our fundraising page is available here.
