In related news, CQUniversity Senior Research Fellow Dr Sarah Blunden has expressed her personal appreciation for the Movember fundraising efforts.

"The funding I have just received from Beyond Blue to investigate sleep loss and depression in adolescent males in 2013 is funded by the Movember campaign ... your money will be helping CQUni undertake research," Dr Blunden says.

Movember contributions deliver funds to the two biggest health issues men face - prostate cancer and mental health.

All funds raised are directed to Movember men's health partners including the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia and BeyondBlue and go towards programs that support awareness, education, survivorship and research.

Congratulations to all staff and students who have supported Movember this year.
