At that time, he could not have envisioned raising tens of thousands of dollars for such a good cause.
Having set his 2024 target at $5000, in order to surpass last year’s record of $4650, he had his fingers crossed he would go over $20,000 raised in total.
As has been the trend with his T-Bro fundraiser, he went one step better.
Speaking to the Ensign at his annual fundraising visit to Benalla Bowls Club on Friday, November 29, he said he had already his $6130 this year.
“I’m already over $21,000, and I’ve been generously invited down by Benalla Bowls Club so hope to raise some more tonight,” he said.
“Thank you to all of its members and patrons for supporting me again.”
Tyler said the big draw, and shaving his mo, was set to happen the next day, on Saturday, November 30.

“And the big news is, I’ve decided to retire. But not until I’ve done one more year,” he said.
“I’ll be doing it again in 2025, which will be a decade. It’s been absolutely fantastic.
“The way the whole community and surrounds has supported me is amazing.”
Tyler said he would never stop supporting Movember, and planned to donate to other people’s fundraisers.
“And I’ll still grow the mo,” he said.
Tyler is now aiming to pass $25,000 by the end of next year’s fundraising.
