#movember has kicked off and our teams at it again. We’ve started strong; we have 2 Mo’s brewing, clocked 191Kms and raised $1,035 so far! We are passionate to this cause as the stats for men’s health in NZ is shocking. Did you know? 😞 In NZ, men are dying on average 3.5 years earlier than women –and for largely preventable reasons. 😞 Suicide is the second leading cause of death in men aged 15 to 59 in NZ. Almost 3 in 4 suicides are men. 😞 NZ has the second highest youth suicide rates in the developed world. 😞 Testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men aged 15 to 29 in New Zealand. Help us support Movember and the great work they do, by donating to our team page below. https://lnkd.in/et_SmrG

Please read the post below from my wonderful colleague Mark Holloway who is doing something wonderful (and crazy!) in memory of his friend.

Last week I met with Fiona Moss of The Natalie Kate Moss Trust to present a cheque of £2,500 from the St. James's Place Foundation. The Natalie Kate Moss Trust (NKMT) was set up in 2012 by the Moss family following the sudden death of Natalie at the age of 26 after an unexpected Brain Haemorrhage. Focusing on turning this tragedy into something positive, NKMT's mission is to empower people to understand how to prevent lifestyle related brain haemorrhages from occurring, whilst generating funds to support ground breaking research to treat them when they do. By joining forces with Manchester University, they support ground breaking research into Stroke at the University whose vision is to improve outcome after a brain haemorrhages. This is a condition which is not discussed enough and may be prevented through raising more awareness which is a key focus for the charity. Please do take a look and spread the word: https://lnkd.in/eutmuiiS The St. James's Place Foundation funds small and medium sized UK registered charitable organisations with four main themes; Supporting young people - special needs or disadvantaged Supporting people with cancer Mental health Hospices If anyone knows of any small charities which need support and fall into one of the above categories, the foundation may be able to help. https://lnkd.in/eidGZ2ex Hope everyone has a great Tuesday! #businessowners #supportingcharities

In the journey of stroke recovery, timing is everything. As emphasized by Dr. Andrew Dawson, starting rehabilitation early can significantly influence the outcome. The period following a stroke holds a window of opportunity that when seized, can lead to remarkable strides in regaining independence and function for the stroke survivors. Recovery is not just a possibility; it's a priority. With the right support, the path to regaining strength and living a normal life is within reach. At Delta Stroke Recovery, we work together with our stroke survivors from day one to ensure we can help them navigate recovery as successfully as possible. For more information on how we can help, reach out to us or check out our website for resources and ways to donate. https://buff.ly/45Sy1J1 #StrokeRecovery #EarlyRehabilitation #Independence #SupportStrokeSurvivors #HealthAwareness

Raising Awareness & Funds for EDS 🌟 Today, I'm spotlighting a cause close to our hearts: EDS UK, a lifeline for those touched by Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. One of our own, Imogen, has courageously shared her journey with Classical EDS, enlightening us on the vital support this charity provides. Diagnosed at 25 after years of nebulous symptoms, Imogen's resilience is a beacon of hope. EDS challenges her daily, affecting work and well-being. Discovering mindfulness and a remote work model, she bravely navigates her condition with tenacity. What truly propels her forward is a remarkable work family, offering unwavering backing on tough days. This solidarity is power! Yet, it's EDS UK's pivotal role in raising awareness and fostering a supportive community that underlines the urgency of our fundraiser. This charity champions education and research, illuminating a path for those affected by EDS. For Imogen, and countless others, EDS UK is more than a charity; it's a network of understanding and support amidst the isolation chronic illness can bring. Join us in amplifying their mission. Your contribution can spark change and embody the very essence of community and compassion we cherish. #EDSAwareness #CharitySupport #TogetherStronger 🦓🤲🏼💚

I call it crazy, John says it's just running, what a mindset you need for 7 in 7! Either way its for an amazing cause and I know that John wants to smash his target, so, if MND or Rugby, or someone you know is affected, then supporting these kinds of efforts is immensely important. Please give if you can. Here's my Business related question: How do you focus on your goals, what habits or mechanisms do you use to get through the tough times in pursuit of your ultimate aims? Appreciate your comments.

As many of you may know, the month of November is dedicated to Movember, an incredible movement raising awareness and funds for men's health issues like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Last year the KTM Online Ltd team got involved in raising funds and modelled various styles of hilarious Moustaches, this year we want as many of you as possible to join us in raising money for this fantastic cause! Here's how you can get involved: Grow a Mo - Whether you can grow a moustache or not, Movember is for everyone! If you can, start growing a moustache with pride this November - it's a fun way to spark conversations and raise awareness. If growing a Mo isn't your thing, no worries! There are many ways to help. Move for Movember - You can commit to running or walking 60km during the month to represent the 60 men lost to suicide every hour across the world. This is a great way to support the cause and challenge yourself at the same time. Donate or Fundraise - Every little bit helps! If you're unable to participate in the activities above, consider making a donation or helping to spread the word about our Movember team to family, friends, and social networks. Join the KTMo'vember Team! Please support us by following the link https://lnkd.in/e9G78irg, whether you're growing a Mo, moving, or just looking to support the cause in your own way. Together, we can make a real difference in men's lives. Why Movember? Men's health is a topic that often doesn't get the attention it deserves. Did you know that men are at higher risk of some of the most life-threatening diseases but are often less likely to seek help? Movember helps to break the stigma and fund life-saving research. Let's make this November one to remember. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or ideas for how we can make our Movember efforts even more impactful. Looking forward to seeing those moustaches and kilometres add up!
