Foundation 49 - Men's Health

Foundation 49 Council

Tony Hitchin's journalistic career spanned more than 45 years. As editor of Home Beautiful and, ultimately, editor of all Herald & Weekly Times magazines, Tony entertained his millions of readers with tales of his everyday life. His later messages had even more significance.

Each hour in Australia, more than five men die from conditions that are potentially preventable. Foundation 49 is a direct response to this health crisis affecting 49% of the population -- and is dedicated to improving the health status of men across each decade of life.
