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

I got involved with Movember when I first moved to the UK in 2014 for University, by randomly buying a bottle of beer with a moustache on it.
Over my time at University and now the NHS I have been exposed to cancer and mental health problems in many forms. Life gets hard, people end up feeling down and isolated, and men are especially bad at looking after themselves. I have grown far from some of my mates, but also found out too late that mates very close to me where carrying huge burdens on their own. This has to change.
The moustache is not a look, on me at least. However, it allows me to start conversations with both my mates and total strangers, conversations which can literally save lives. Movember has empowered me with the skills to help men look after their physical and mental health, and support the people close to them in time of hardship.
