Brovember 2025 — Supporting Men’s Health & Blood Cancer NZ

Brovember began as a group of uni mates wanting to do something meaningful for men’s mental health. Last year, we ran over 3,000km, raised $3,000 for Movember, and were even nominated for a New Zealand Movember Award.

This year, Brovember means even more. One of our close friends, Tommy, was recently diagnosed with blood cancer — a shock that’s hit all of us hard. So, this year we’re running not just for men’s mental health, but also for Tommy and every Kiwi and whānau affected by blood cancer.

We’re running with a smaller group of mates this year, but with even more meaning. Our goal is to collectively run 2,500km — approximately the length of Aotearoa plus another North Island. Along the way, several of us will also be shaving our heads in solidarity with Tommy, and to raise awareness for those facing similar battles.

All funds raised will be split between the Movember Foundation (supporting men’s mental health and suicide prevention) and the Leukaemia & Blood Cancer Foundation NZ (supporting Kiwis like Tommy).

Brovember is about mateship, movement, and making a difference. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us show that no one has to face their challenges alone.

Donate to support the cause, join us for a run, or simply spread the word. Together, we can make a real impact — for Tommy, and for all the brothers out there who need it.
