We managed to SMASH our goals for fundraising for Movember 2020, and we'd like to thank you for helping us to support such an amazing foundation 馃懆馃徎
Our final numbers for Movember 2020 have us in awe - with donations exceeding $10,000 - with the help of Lowes matching 50% of the donations raised. This donation will help to fund ground breaking projects in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
Remember, Movember is just a month - but men's health projects and community support behind the foundation runs all year.
Please enjoy some happy mo'ments from the month that was, and don't forget to check out Wayne Jones & Riaan Van Wyngaard's mo waxing here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rORg6tSQGY0

Lowes Petroleum Service supporting MND and ME in supporting Queenslanders living with MND and their families.
#qld #mndandme #lowespetrol #lowespetroleum #donateToday is Giving Tuesday and the 1st December so a perfect day to launch our 2020 Christmas Appeal.
This year we are raising funds to support Queenslanders living with MND and their families to access funding that either NDIS or My Aged Care will not fund.
Meet Russell
"Blue skies, the sound of the surf crashing on the sand and a beautiful view of the ocean beyond the rocky outcrop of the southern end of Miami Beach, on the Gold Coast. A picnic and a family get together, topped off with a stroll along the esplanade, completed our day.
"This wouldn鈥檛 have been possible without the support of the MND & Me Foundation and their grant that went towards the hiring of a wheelchair accessible vehicle."
Russell was diagnosed in April 2018 with early onset bulbar which affects his speech and swallowing. By September that year, Russell was no longer able to speak and relied solely on communicating via an app downloaded on to his mobile. In the last 2 1/2 years his mobility has steadily declined and Russell is completely wheelchair bound.
Russell and his wife Veronica live on a small rural property accessible only by a gravel road and using a taxi service is out of the question. Having access and the funds to hire a wheelchair modified vehicle has given Russell independence and opportunities to once again get out into the community and enjoy catching up with family, friends and former work colleagues.
Russell has received funding for equipment via the NDIS, however they would not fund a vehicle or rental of a vehicle so Russell could leave his house. That is where our Support Grants come in - to help ease the pressure of living with MND.
Please consider a donation to our Christmas Appeal as an alternative Christmas present for someone.
Or maybe even set up a regular giving donation each month for all of 2021.
You can make a difference in 2021 for people like Russell living with MND.

As a major part of our business takes place in regional and rural areas of Australia, it makes sense to highlight today's video from National Road Safety Week.
Turn on your headlights and shine a light on regional and remote road users today who are vulnerable with long distances to travel.
Make sure to protect your mates so everyone gets home safe #NRSW #DriveSoS

As you know, Lowes Petroleum Service is proudly supporting Movember this month, and is committed to focusing on one men's health topic per week 馃懆馃徎
This Week: Australian Men & Cancer
Did you know that prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in Australian men? Or that almost 1 in 11 Australian men will develop bowel cancer in their life time? And almost 1 in 13 men will be diagnosed with skin cancer or melanomas?
There are a number of treatments and screening tests that are available - and all should ensure that they are screened regularly to combat these early.
You can even receive a free bowel cancer screening test in the mail - check if you are eligible here: www.health.gov.au/initiatives-and-programs/national-bowel-cancer-screening-program/about-the-nati...

This week and every week, we acknowledge the significant contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples across Australia; including our staff, suppliers, partners and customers.

This Week: Healthy Eating & Exercise
Did you know that only 1 in 2 Australian Men are sufficiently physically active?
Not only is eating wholesome foods and exercising regularly the right move for our bodies, but it's also the best thing we can do for our brain!
Check out this article on how food and exercise can positively influence overall mental wellbeing: www.beyondblue.org.au/personal-best/pillar/supporting-yourself/exercise-your-way-to-good-mental-h...

This Week: Mental Health
Anxiety and depression are the most common mental health issues in Australian men, yet men are less likely to reach out for support.
A crucial step is to be able to identify and acknowledge mental health struggles. While feeling low every now and then is normal and not something we can control, we can still learn ways to manage or alleviate these feelings.
