MEDIA  RELEASE

AUSTRALIAN  DADS  HONOUR  MUMS ON  TV

‘Love Your Mum’ Happy Mothers Day TV Campaign is being shown on commercial TV right across Australia.  List of TV stations showing adverts is attached.

The Fatherhood Foundation believes the best thing a father can do for his children is to love and honour their mother.  Who better to salute and honour the mums of Australia than Australia’s fathers?  The Fatherhood Foundation is running a ‘Love Your Mum’ – Happy Mothers Day campaign through three Community Service Advertisements.  Almost every Australian will see one of the Happy Mothers Day Adverts by Mothers Day.

These adverts have all come out of impromptu street interviews that are non-scripted.  Even the ‘Mothers Day Rap’ was performed and written by one of the people interviewed on the street as a result of the interview.

The Fatherhood Foundation is a non-profit charitable organisation dedicated to encouraging fathers, empowering families and helping children.  Every week the Fatherhood Foundation releases a weekly inspirational email for busy dads.  Anybody is welcome to register for this weekly email at www.goodfather.com.au  Back copies are also available at the website.

Warwick Marsh says in this week’s goodfather.com.au newsletter:
Motherhood, along with fatherhood has been under tremendous attack over the last thirty years.  Many women have been made to feel like failures by militant feminist philosophy that insinuates that women who want to have children and put maximum effort into raising their children have something wrong with them.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  ‘The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world’.  How can anyone measure the effect of a mother’s love?

Warwick Marsh, the founder of the Fatherhood Foundation has been acknowledged for his work in the community by receiving a Centenary Medal.*  He says, “I gratefully receive this Centenary Medal on behalf of every mother and father in Australia who is committed to honouring and loving each other and to raising their children in an atmosphere of love, no matter what the obstacles.  These mothers and fathers are the true heroes of Australia.  That’s why the Fatherhood Foundation is committed to inspiring Aussie mums and dads through the ‘Love Your Mum’ – Happy Mothers Day Campaign”.

*Perhaps Warwick’s wife and mother of their five children, Alison, should receive a medal for putting up with him for 28 years!
