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

4 years sporting a Mo, 4 years watching Movember change the world.

For me, Movember is personal.

Since I was a young boy, I've struggled with my mental health. It showed itself in lots of nasty ways for the best part of a decade. Depression, anger, anxiety, addiction, self-sabotage, disassociation. I was afraid to ask for help. It made me feel weak and scared. I thought I could just 'go it alone' or 'soldier on'. On the rare occasion I did reach out, feeling like I had finally lost the will to carry on - help wasn't always there. It felt like the world was rigged against me. Above all else, I felt lonely.

Thanks to the de-stigmatizing work of the Movember foundation, I sought help and now my life has invariably been changed for the better. Society has changed, and now we are so much better at talking. But I am one of the lucky ones.

I am 25 years old, and I've lost 3 friends to suicide. This can't bring them back, but their memory should not be in vain. We beat suicide by talking about it. By growing a moustache. By asking that mate of yours if he's okay. By making fools of ourselves. By running, cycling, dancing, boxing, skating, making, baking, laughing.

Every 60 seconds another man takes his own life. It doesn't have to be this way.

Join me in fundraising this Movember, to save another brother, father, boyfriend, husband, or son from dying too young.

Do good, Have fun.

I am climbing Everest twice in one month, in solidarity with the struggle so many men face every day. That is 5,362 stories, or 17,697 meters to ascend. 196 stories a day. Do good, have fun.

ONE MORE DAY TO MO

As Movember draws to a close, we hope that those of you who are growing are beginning to feel at one with the Mo.

Will be a sad day for those that will be losing their furry face furniture soon but remember, you still have until 11th December until the leader boards close... so maybe you can extend the Mo growth just a bit longer.

Comedian Nick Helm has perfectly shown the Movember journey - go give it some love!
