Sussex journalists join Movember fundraising with magnificent moustaches

The charity raises vital cash and awareness for men’s health and men’s mental health by urging men to ‘grow a mo’, save a bro’ in November.

Senior reporter Sam Dixon-French said: “It’s so important to change the face of men’s health.

“At the start of the month I shaved my beloved beard and began to grow my mo’.

“Thirty days later and I’m very proud of my efforts – channelling fictional news anchor Ron Burgundy.

“We need to get men talking and I hope the conversations sparked by my mo’ will raise awareness of the Movember movement.”

Sam was joined in the challenge by fellow senior reporter Stephen Wynn-Davies.

He added: “In my job as a news reporter covering Sussex, I have reported on too many deaths of young men.

“I have sat through too many inquests where I’ve spoken to heartbroken relatives as they attempt to understand why their husband, boyfriend, brother, son, dad, uncle, or nephew, couldn’t speak about their feelings.

“One suicide is one suicide too many. I want to put my experience to use. Please support me.”
