SHEPPARTON’S Tyler Brodie, who was featured in The Adviser earlier this month for his incredible dedication to Movember. At the time of writing, he raised his highest amount yet: $2,500!
This was Tyler’s sixth year with Movember. He became involved to raise awareness of men’s mental health and suicide prevention after his best mate took his own life in 2013.
Each year Tyler has raised a larger number of funds and connected with a larger number of people to help stop the stigma around men’s mental health.
“Massive thank you again to everyone who bought a ticket or donated money, thank you again to the people who bought a hat, and thank you to Woolies Benalla for letting me sit out the front to sell my raffle tickets all day again,” Tyler said.
“Movember is over, but it is so important that we continue to talk about men’s mental health and to remove the stigma that see’s too many men die too young.”
While the impact of the pandemic has poorly affected the mental health of many men and other Australians, while also hindering fundraising efforts, Tyler’s contribution is yet another example of how the community rallies together for the greatest impact possible.
