5 Quick Q’s with MOVEMBER Ambassador Nathan Appo

I’d like you to meet my deadly brother from another mother, Nathan Appo. Nathan is the Coordinator of Deadly Choices Business Development, and is a passionate Ambassador for MOVEMBER! I’m a supporter of Nath’s and MOVEMBER, having lost my own father to prostate and bowel cancer. I asked Nath a few quick questions, hoping to raise some more awareness and cash for a very important cause.

For those hearing about MOVEMBER for the first time, can you tell us a little about the history and purpose? Movember is a campaign to raise funds and awareness for men’s health. The campaign funds programs and research focusing on testicular cancer, prostate cancer and Mental health.

You’ve been involved for a few years now as an Ambassador, what brought you to the charity? Through my work at Deadly Choices we partnered up and I’ve been a Mobro ever since. My old man and I started it together and I’ve just continued on. Dad has had his challenges with depression and anxiety and he’s a big reason why I continue.

Tell me about Team All Stars: The All-Stars are the Deadly Choices MOVEMEBER team; it’s a great way to connect as a team and community. I believe our goal this year is $20K. Check out our page here.

Aside from the obvious benefits of fundraising and awareness raising around men’s health, what do you like most about being part of MOVEMBER? I’ve always felt a strong responsibility to the cause and any chance we get to empower and educate our mob is important. I love how the campaign brings people together in a very unique way of growing a mo.

How can people get involved? I know you don’t have to be a man or ever grow an actual moustache to be part of MOVEMBER. Anyone can be involved, Mobros Mosisters and you can mo your own way, you can walk, ride run grow a mo or even host an event. It’s easy just sign up at Movember.com.au and join our team.
