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

From personal experience I know how mental health can affect a person, I was lucky in the sense I had people close to me, family and friends, who unknowingly took a lot of the burden I was keeping on my shoulders. If I didn't have them I don't know what I would have done. I, like many men, did not want to speak out about how I felt as I was embarrassed. Men's mental health is no joke. Therefore I am taking the challenge of using my God-given right to grow an awful moustache along with lifting some (relatively) heavy ass weights!

Per every £1 donated to me for Movember will turn into 2kg added to my bench press. If we surpass my bench press max, we'll move on to squats and deadlifts. In the event that I can keep the donations at bay (hopefully not) I will be donating £60 out of my pocket to the charity at the end of November in honour of the 60 men who tragically lose their lives to suicide every hour. However, if the donations pile up so high that I can't complete all three lifts in one session every day, my original end-of-November donation of £60 will double.

Every day I will be completing the lifts and posting the videos on social media, so those who have donated can see the weight literally being lifted from my shoulders!

Thank you to anyone who donates to this wonderful cause.

As of right now my total of squat, bench and deadlift sits at 410kg. This is the target to break for that doubling of my donation! (But that's only if I complete all three of my maxes in one session)

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!
