Hawthorn is supporting former premiership player Russell Greene in his crusade to raise funds and awareness for men's mental health, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

To bring attention to the important causes, the Hawthorn Hall of Famer will be growing a Mo from the beginning of next month, as he takes part in Movember.

Suicide is the leading cause of death for Australian men aged 15 to 54, while Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young Australian men aged 15 to 34.

Notably, Movember directly funds an important program called Ahead of the Game, which helps young players, coaches and parents at community clubs look after their mental health and each other. Just one $100 donation helps fund the program for one young player at a community club.

Greene begins his Movember fundraising journey on November 1.
