My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Men's health
Mental health and suicide prevention

Over the years, I’ve seen too many men delay asking for help, and by the time they do, the damage is often much greater. Whether it’s related to physical illness or mental health, men often choose to struggle in silence rather than reaching out for support. The stigma surrounding vulnerability—especially when it comes to mental health—continues to persist, and it’s costing lives.

We live in a world where men are conditioned to "tough it out" or "stay strong," but this attitude only serves to distance us from the people and resources that can help. The reality is, we all face challenges—whether they come in the form of stress, anxiety, depression, or even life-threatening illnesses like prostate and testicular cancer. We need to normalize seeking help, whether it’s from a friend, family member, or professional, and the earlier we open up, the better our chances are of finding a solution or gaining the support we need.

For me, running 30 marathons in 30 days is more than just an endurance challenge. It’s a symbol of perseverance, of pushing through when things get tough, but more importantly, it’s a way to open a conversation about men’s health. I’m doing this for Movember because their work goes beyond awareness; they are actively funding groundbreaking research and support programs aimed at reducing the number of men who die prematurely from cancer, mental health issues, and suicide. By raising funds for Movember, I’m helping to support this cause, and I’m encouraging others to think about their own health and the health of the men they care about.

This challenge is about more than just covering miles—it’s about spreading a message that we don’t have to do life alone. Whether you're struggling with a physical ailment or battling with mental health, there's always help available if you're willing to ask for it. It's time for men to stop feeling like they must suffer in silence. It’s okay to be vulnerable, to admit that we’re not okay, and to reach out for support. It’s okay to ask for help.

Movember has always been about making conversations about men’s health more visible, and this challenge is my way of contributing to that mission. Every marathon I run is dedicated to the men who felt like they couldn’t ask for help – and to the future where no man feels that way again. I’m running for change, for awareness, and for all the men out there who are struggling in silence. Let’s break the stigma, together.

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.

BE THE DIFFERENCE IN MOVEMBER 2024!

Check out the UK Sports Network Challenge to see how you measure up against your fellow sporting Mos across the country. We will be recognising the top 20 fundraising teams and individuals when we hit December, and we'll provide weekly updates in the hairy month as well.
Now is the time to spread the word and get as many people signed up as possible. Mo for it.
Mo HQ

It begins. For those about to Mo - however you're doing it - we salute you. Keep an eye on the UK Sports leader board. The top 20 teams and individuals will be immortalised in Movember folklore (along with some tangible rewards). It's not too late to sign up so keep growing your team and let's change the face of men's health.

2 Weeks to Mo! Welcome to the Movember UK Sports challenge. The top 20 fundraising teams will receive special recognition of their achievements at our Mo Awards and beyond, with your team's name etched into the Movember annals of history. Share your team page and grow your posse of Mo Bros & Mo Sisters. It's the best way to grow your fundraising total. If you need tips, advice and help, email oswin@movember.com. Let's do this.

It's mid-month and the Mos are coming through strong. Farnham RUFC lead the way in the Sports Challenge fundraising leaderboard as I write, but where do you feature?

Don't forget to thank your donors and give potential donors an extra incentive to donate; an example of a Movember funded project, a special thanks from you, or simply because of the terrible itch your moustache is giving you. Thanks sporting Mos, we are over £200,000 raised and going strong!

Note: As donations can be made privately, not all donations are displayed to the public.
