20.01.2022 We're nearing the end of Movember, which means the mos around GMW are starting to get pretty hairy! Sam Green and Daniel McLaughlan are two of our prominent mo-bros and both have their own reason for supporting men's health. Sam is supporting the Goulburn Valley League. "With a lot of blokes missing a season of footy, it's important to re-engage and say its ok to struggle, but there's plenty of help out there too."... Daniel said 2020 has been a tough year for many, and alongside growing a mo he's also aiming to walk 150km - as of this week he's already walked a whopping 130km!
