Whole New Ball Game- Magazine

Exciting news - our 25th anniversary edition of the Whole New Ball Game is fresh off the digital press!

Welcome to the digital age for the Whole New Ball Game magazine 2015. This is our first edition that is solely electronic and a significant issue at No 25. The new format will provide exciting new options to create a more interactive magazine with a fresh look. We hope you will enjoy the new magazine and as always, your input and feedback on the magazine is most welcome.

We will continue to publish the magazine regularly and bring you the inspirational stories and information about men’s health, for which we are well known. As well as stories about real men in the community, you can look forward to receiving the latest information on advances in healthcare and service provision, which are revolutionising treatment for men.

The first Whole New Ball Game magazine was published in December 2006 featuring Shane Jacobson as ‘Kenny’ in the Australian ‘mockumentary’ film about Kenny Smyth, a Melbourne plumber who works for a portable toilet rental company. Since then, many well known celebrities and personalities have supported our work to encourage men with healthier physical, mental and emotional behaviours.

We thank all the men who agreed to be the ‘face of the magazine’ over the years and all who shared their intimate and moving personal stories and experiences, while helping us to promote the importance of men’s health.

Foundation 49: Men’s Health, a Cabrini health promotion initiative, will continue to focus on our vision to improve the health and wellbeing of men by raising awareness of men’s health issues and encouraging men to have a regular health check by providing valuable men’s health resources and support. We want to improve the health of men in our community and take a grassroots approach through distributing information in easy-to-read formats such as our magazine and popular Men’s Health Toolkit booklet, as well as supporting local communities and health professionals. Foundation 49: Men’s Health is funded through donations, fundraising activities and philanthropic grants. It is from this support we are able to provide men’s health resources and support through a variety of channels to men in the community.

The digital version affords an opportunity to provide more interesting articles and evidence based information for you to read and learn. If you have a health related question, feel free to write to ‘the Quack’ for some advice and if there are particular health areas you would like to know more about - let us know.

I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to the 25 editions over the years and look forward to the future editions.

Please donate to Foundation 49: Men's Health so we can continue to support you guys into the future!

Happy New Year

Cheers
