My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health

This is my 13th year as a MoBro. It started at university as a simple but effective way to raise awareness of cancer. Initially I struggled with the concept of supporting a charity that primarily focused on a single sex, but that only applies to the charity and it’s people if it is looked at in isolation. I believe the Movember movement is a great addition to a suite of fantastic charities that work incredibly hard not just to cure cancer medicinally but moreover to help those struggling with cancer, their families and their loved ones. Testicular cancer and prostate cancer are obviously issues that solely men deal with physically. Mental issues are not so black and white. My passion for Movember has grown more recently with an ever-growing realisation that I and my friends are struggling with mental health. It is becoming more apparent that our ‘man-up-culture’ is deeply hurting most men. I have noticed in myself and in my friends that our ability to process our emotions and to communicate freely about our feelings feels like a skill we are having to develop far too late on in our lives. On a personal level, a few years ago now I suffered the loss of father figure to cancer and supported a friend and a family member clinically diagnosed with depression. This year another father figure in my life battled with cancer. Any charity that endeavours to help people with cancer and or mental struggles is a credit to humanity; but what I particularly like about Movember, is the way they joyfully and lovingly support men and their families to make the unbearable bearable, whilst making significant contributions, medically and technologically, to helping fewer men die too young. This year, I am particularly excited about their TrueNTH app which, among other things, allows people to look up the information that they need, but moreover, to rapidly create a support network at a time when they need it the most. Given we're all having to socialise virtually more these days, there has never been a better time to enable quick virtual friendships.

The moustache is a beacon of hope and a symbol of change.

One conversation can change the world.

Sometimes in a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, all it takes is one person to remind us of the power of love, hope and togetherness.

Business Mos, the end is in sight!

For those that braved the shave 24 days ago, the stubble is coming back to you now. On your top lip at least.

You. Look. Good.

Now’s the time to dig deep, dig in and commit to Mo. Remember the men you’re doing it for and get those final donations in.

You're Mo legends.
