My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Mental health and suicide prevention

The time has come again for me to sport a limp moustache for a great cause.

Once again I'm aiming to raise funding for Movember's projects and research on a topic very close to my heart - male mental health and suicide prevention.

The male mental health crisis is something which affects us all and we can all play our part in making a change - even if that involves walking around with the pathetic 'tash I'm currently sporting!

Mental health support is my passion and is one of the reasons I’m currently on a path to becoming a clinical psychologist. Through my own experiences as a man with mental health struggles, I know how hard it can be to seek support.

The stigma around masculinity can mean we as men keep our struggles bottled in. We maybe don't want to burden others, maybe we've simply learned to block out our emotions, or maybe we feel that we don't have another choice.

Around the world, 1 man commits suicide every single minute. Approximately 3/4 of all suicide cases are male. This is a crisis, and it needs to change.

We can all do our bit to contribute to this change, and donating some of your hard earned cash to Movember can help make a huge difference. Importantly, however, we must ensure that those around us know that we're always here to talk and listen.

It's okay to not be okay, and it's okay to show you're not okay.

Thanks,
Dougy

Great job dougy ! From the first time we met, it striked me what a sensitive , kind and emotionally intelligent person you are. Movember aside, you do a great job at setting an example for men that vulnerability can be a strength, and at creating a safe space for deep conversations :)

I’m proud of you for taking stance, spreading awareness and motivating the people around you to join. Male mental health in particular is very often overlooked or brushed away because of a socialized understanding of what it is to ‘be a man’. Great effort to de-stigmatize the topic and break the taboo. Keep it up, Dougy!
