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

I have been meaning to do this for many years now but to be honest, I’ve never had the courage to tell my story. With all the chaos that is currently going on in the world, it’s made me want to do something positive so here it goes!

GLOBALLY, ON AVERAGE, 1 MAN DIES BY SUICIDE EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY DAY

I’ll just let that sink in for a second ….

This cause is very close to my heart. As you may be aware, I lost my father to suicide in 2010, it will be the 10 year anniversary of his death on the 17th November. I can't help but think if mental health wasn't such a taboo 10 years ago, I might still have my dad today. My dad was the definition of a “macho man”. In the 22 years I knew him, he never took a day off work no matter how sick he was. He was always the life and soul of the party and always appeared to be happy. No one knew what was going on in the mind of this seemingly indestructible man, who showed no signs of weakness. Evidently, that pressure grated at him, he didn’t think he could talk to anyone, and the final result was catastrophic. I don’t want anyone to experience the loneliness my father felt ever again, and no family to go through the pain that we experienced, and still experience to this day. It gets easier, but it never goes away.

Please support the great work this charity does to help make sure no one feels alone and that they have no way out. Globally, the rate of suicide is alarmingly high, particularly in men. Too many men are ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence. Movember is aiming to reduce the rate of male suicide by 25% by 2030, and I want to help them get there. Help me stop men dying too young.

I decided to give myself a bit of a head start and not go clean shaven so that the end result is even more amusing. Some people say Borat, I prefer Freddie Mercury, you can make your own choice. I will be posting regular update on my page for you all to laugh at. I’m hoping by the end of Movember you’ll be looking at a Salvador Dali lookalike. In the meantime, Yakshamesh and please please dig deep!!

Thank you so much for all your donations.
Taking part in Movember has brought the memories of 17th November 2010 to the forefront. I have spent the past 9 years marking this day in a very private and personal way, but in the spirit of opening up about #mentalhealth and trying to destigmatise #suicide, I have decided to share the shattering events of that day, which began like any other normal Wednesday.
Please read, share and donate if you can.
This is all for you, Dad.
