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

This year, I am participating in the Earling half marathon for Movember on 29th September . Additionally, throughout the month of September, I have committed to completing 100k of cardio activities , including walking, cycling, and running. In October, I will be embarking on a challenging 76-mile walk from Hemel Hempstead to Brighton over a weekend, a journey that will take approximately 27 hours to complete. On 4-5th October

Movember is a cause that is deeply meaningful to me as I have known individuals who have tragically taken their own lives It is a cause that I am passionate about, especially in memory of my uncle who took his own life in 2006. I am dedicated to raising awareness and funds to support men's mental health initiatives in his honor.

I kindly invite you to consider donating to my fundraising efforts. Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant impact in supporting men's mental health and potentially saving lives.

Thank you for taking the time to read about my fundraising endeavors. Your support and generosity mean a great deal to me and to those who will benefit from Movember's vital work.

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!
