He hasn’t really tried to rope in his teammates, but at least one has jumped on board. Harvey won’t be the only member of the Hawks who’ll be growing out his facial hair. #HWKatCNS #NBL21 /Z6YakEEoOl- The NBL Janu Life’s not easy, but my family, my wife, they’re always there to pick me up whenever I need it and I’m forever grateful for that, for sure.” “My family has always been there for me, for support, and that’s the one thing I always relied on,” he explained. While Harvey hasn’t had to face those sorts of challenges, there have certainly been times in his life when he’s needed support from others to get through some tough times or lift his mental wellbeing. Movember charities around the world raise much needed funds for several causes such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, men’s suicide and mental health. “And what better way than to help the Hawks score, right? Because the more we score, the better for us and the better for everybody.” I think it’s important and I don’t think it’s talked about enough, so that’s why I wanted to donate. “So, when I heard Movember was coming around, I actually partnered up with lulu for this month and we just wanted to bring awareness to it. “I’ve always been a fan of Men’s Health and wanting to get involved in a way to give back to the community,” Harvey told NBL Media on Friday. Partnering with lululemon, Harvey has committed to donate $1 for every point the Hawks score at the Blitz. This year, Tyler Harvey of the Illawarra Hawks has taken up the cause and he’s using the NBL Blitz as a way to raise funds. Since then, Movember has become an internationally recognised phenomenon when it comes to Men’s Health charities with millions of people participating and hundreds of millions of dollars being raised.
Originating in Adelaide in 1999, it then grew considerably when an unrelated group brought it back 5 years later in Melbourne. For nearly 20 years, Movember has been a great way to raise awareness and money for Men’s Health.
