Ireland's Frontline Mo Bros took on a 40km hike from Bray Head to Howth Head in support of Movember on Saturday, 5th November 2022. The group of men and women donned their emergency service uniforms with some members in full uniform and kit weighing 26kg and took to the pavements, with representatives from An Garda Siochana, Fire Service, Defence Forces, Ambulance Service, Coast Guard, Civil Defence and other voluntary services.

The hike lasted approximately nine hours with supporters cheering the group on from the sidelines and through the city centre. The final tally of participants for the event saw 81 registered, of which 50 took part in the Bray to Howth 40km, alongside 7 service vehicles and 10 support staff.

While the members of the Frontline Mo Bros on the East Coast took on the Head to Head challenge, the other 31 members of the Frontline Mo Bros in the West of Ireland took on their own challenge and hiked up Croagh Patrick.

For anyone that took part in the challenge, it was a day to remember and an amazing event to support men's health by raising funds and awareness, all with a wonderful display of unity throughout all services. A huge thanks to everyone involved in making this happen.

Movember supports all individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual. Health disparities exist, with LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing higher rates of mental health issues and discrimination, often exacerbated by stigma in healthcare. We advocate for the right to self-identify, protection from discrimination, inclusive education, and rights-affirming healthcare, ensuring everyone can lead a healthy, dignified life.

Movember acknowledge the many and varied experiences of people navigating their health and wellbeing, those who support them and those who came before us whose stories, struggles and strength have shaped what we know. We recognise those who have generously shared their knowledge and wisdom with us and honour those we have lost too soon. Their knowledge, insight and expertise are essential to improving the design, delivery and evaluation of the work that we do and their experiences remind us why this work matters.
