My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health
Prostate cancer
Testicular cancer
Mental health and suicide prevention

To kickstart my Movember 2025 campaign, I will be running three marathons in one month to represent Movember’s three cause areas:

13th April - Paris - Prostate Cancer
27th April - Manchester - Testicular Cancer
11th May - Geneva - Mental health & suicide prevention

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember, I’ll be joining them again. Together we can make a difference for men's health – in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Help me stop men dying too young.


Some key stats and figures are:

Globally, more than 1.4M men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. 1 in 8 men in the UK will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.

Testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in young men. Over 800,000 men are living with testicular cancer globally.

Globally, the rate of suicide is alarmingly high, particularly in men. Every minute globally, a man will take his own life and 3 out of 4 suicides in the UK are men. Too many men are ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence.

Twas the night before Movember, when all through the land,
Not a whisker was stirring, not one single strand.
The razors were readied by the sink with care,
In hopes that a smooth-to-be face would soon be there.
The Mo Bros and Sisters were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Mo glory ran through their heads.

Yes folks, the hairiest month of the year begins TOMORROW!!

Hopefully all the plans for your team’s campaigns are in place, and if not – there is still time to recruit, make plans and build hype. Last year the sports challenge made a serious impact, and we’re gonna do it all again this year.
