Sydney Harbour Surf Club Mosman's Movember Challenge

Ms FELICITY WILSON (North Shore)

—I would like to recognise the involvement of the Sydney Harbour Surf Club Mosman's involvement in Movember for this year. For those who do not know, the Movember Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation who supports projects for mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. The Surf Club's initiative has been to encourage participants to paddle on Sydney Harbour 60km each week in November to raise funds to go towards the Foundation. The initiative also encourages people to get paddling on the water to enjoy themselves and create a sense of community, which is by itself good for improving our mental health. This is the club's third year of participation with proven fundraising successes in previous years. Luke Hoder, the director of the Surf Club, expects even greater success this year. I would like to thank the Surf Club for their contribution to Movember and congratulate them on the continuing success of the paddling initiative. I would like to give special commendation to Luke Hoder for leading the club's involvement in Movember.
