Nick Attam has returned to Movember with the same steady focus he has brought to the campaign for more than a decade, using his voice to draw attention to men’s mental and physical health. The editor of The Indian Sun, known to many as NickMoBro, has raised more than $23,000 over the years, and his message this November is anchored in stories he has carried with him.
Movember’s annual push encourages men and their communities to act early, talk openly, and pay closer attention to mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. For Nick, these conversations grew from what he saw around him. “I’ve seen firsthand how silently men suffer,” he explains. “One friend ignored persistent pain for too long, resulting in major health complications. Another battles mental illness, and regular check-ins make a real difference. These are challenges many face quietly, and conversations are the first step toward prevention and support.”
The movement’s strength lies in making these exchanges part of everyday life. Tools like Movember Conversations give people simple ways to approach sensitive topics with friends, family or colleagues, helping them navigate moments when someone might be struggling but unsure how to reach out.
Support is close at hand for those who need it. Movember’s Australian Men’s Health services offer confidential help for mental wellbeing, stress and general health concerns. Men seeking information on prostate cancer can access guidance on symptoms, early checks and treatment pathways. Broader men’s health resources cover lifestyle, mental wellbeing and practical steps to stay healthier for longer.
Nick says the message is straightforward. “It’s about checking in, listening, and encouraging men to seek help when needed. Every conversation matters, and together, we can make a real impact.”
His Movember page is open for anyone wishing to contribute. As he puts it, supporting the movement can begin with something as simple as asking a mate how he’s doing, and being ready to listen.
