Kilkenny man, Andrew Brennan-Smyth who has featured heavily for Dicksboro teams at juvenile and adult level in recent years is taking steps to shine a light on positive mental health this 'Movember'.
Movember is an annual event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November to raise awareness of Men's Health issues, such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and men's suicide.

In aid of the cause the local man will run 10km each day for 30 days to raise awareness for mental health while growing a beard in the process.
"Mental health has been something I've been a silent advocate for ever since seeking help for my own issues six years ago. I believe it needs to be spoken about more & we are losing one too many young souls daily, which is unacceptable in my eyes," Brennan-Smyth posted to his GoFund Me Page.
"I thank you all so much for your kind donations & make sure to check out my socials for daily updates," he concluded.
