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

I'm raising funds and awareness this Movember to help support a great charity that does so much to tackle men’s mental health. I will be documenting this through my instagram account joeyojones_ if you want to follow along.

Mental health and depression is something that has massively impacted me over the last 10 years. When I was 20 years old, I was drugged, and sexually assaulted by an older man when living in South Africa. This traumatic event caused me to go through the darkest years of my life. I stayed silent about what had happened to me, and how much I was struggling, I did everything possible to try suppress the negative emotions I was feeling. 3 years ago was the first time I vocalised it to someone, and since then I have slowly come to find peace with what had happened and stop letting it define who I was as a person and control all aspects of my life. This is why I have decided to take control of it; and share my story with all to see, in the hope that it might resonate with other people and potentially encourage others to speak up more about their own mental health. We are not alone.

Because of this, this year I’m going to do my bit by under taking a physical challenge to help raise money and awareness. But also, I want to continue to support by addressing my own mental health and always being a friend to listen and help other people.

Any donations, big or small, will make a big difference in supporting men's health.

Movember Challenge:

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!
