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

Hello and thank you for visiting my page!

Welcome back to year 2 of my Movember Challenge! This year I am aiming to swim 60km over the course of November. During the month I will be documenting the mental and physical changes that I face during the challenges. If you’d like to follow along please do check out @rorysmovmber on instagram for updates.

I’m sure many of you have heard of Movember particularly in relation to testicular and prostate cancer however, they also do amazing work in mental health and suicide prevention.

Over the course of the next hour, 60 men will take their own lives globally. This is a horrifying statistic but it is all too true and it’s time for change. This is why I am looking to raise £1000 to help fight this and support young men living with mental health issues through the Movember.

Thank you very much for your support and I look forward to, hopefully, telling you of my success.

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!
