Popular Dublin broadcaster Darren Kennedy is amongst the famous faces representing Movember this year.
The popular charity has announced a brand new initiative in a bid to raise awareness about men's mental health.
The Lockdown - Shave Down - Get Down initiative comes following a challenging year as people across the country struggled with missing their family, friends, and a sense of "normality".
Darren will be joined by rugby player Harry McNulty, stylist Lawson Mpame, Men’s Circle Facilitator Darragh Stewart and coach Pat Divily as the five will team up to make a difference.
You can show your support by shaving down on October 30 and signing up on the Movember website.
In fact, this year the charity is calling for pre-kick-off donations.
Darren Kennedy said, “I’ve long-time admired the incredible work of Movember so naturally I’m very excited to be an ambassador for this year’s campaign. The pandemic has really challenged my own mental and physical health. And I know I’m not alone in feeling it.
"Our communal mental, emotional and physical health has taken a battering this year as a result. For me, throwing myself into the Irish Sea has been a real tonic - both mentally and physically.
"Anything that encourages a conversation, encourages guys who might be struggling to reach out for help or just have a chat with a mate can be a lifesaver.”
In addition, stylist Lawson Mpame said, “I am very honoured to be a Movember ambassador this year, Movember and the incredible guys who are part of this community helped me at a time when I needed it most and when I was at my lowest point in life.
"So it's truly amazing that I can do my part to help other men out there this year and help stop men dying young especially at the difficult time we are currently living in.”
