My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Men's health
Prostate cancer
Testicular cancer
Mental health and suicide prevention

This year marks my second year as a Movember Ambassador and a Mo Sister, and I am so proud to continue supporting this incredible cause. While I’ve been involved before, last year was bigger than ever, and this year, I’m determined to take it even further.

My motivation comes from seeing the men in my life struggle silently with their mental health. Too often, I’ve watched friends battle behind the scenes, feeling like they couldn’t open up or show their emotions. I’ve always been someone people can talk to, and while it’s been a privilege to be there for them, it’s also been heartbreaking to see how much pain can hide beneath the surface. I’ve been there when friends have felt like they couldn’t carry on, and I’ve seen how hard it can be to break through that silence.

For me, Movember is about changing that. It’s about breaking down stigma, creating safe spaces, and making sure no man feels he has to go through life’s struggles alone. That’s why this year, I’m challenging myself like never before, with a skydive, a Moustache shaped Movember marathon, and 60 fitness challenges in 30 days. I’m not a naturally sporty person, but that’s the point: pushing myself to my limits is a way of showing just how important this cause is to me.

Through the University of Exeter campaign, I want to bring together not only students but staff, families, and the wider community to raise awareness and create lasting change. This isn’t just about November, it’s about building conversations and support year-round.

Being a Movember Ambassador is one of my proudest roles. I want every man to feel safe, supported, and confident that they can open up without fear of judgment. For me, Movember doesn’t just change lives, it saves them.

Donate to my fundraiser via https://movember.com/m/15177097?mc=74 Day 3 ✅ and the reality of this challenge is setting in.

My legs were so jelly from yesterday's 80 squats that I genuinely almost fell down the stairs this morning. Now I've got a blistered toe, and my body is tired.

Today's challenge was a 10-minute "Burpee Mo-untain." With a new injury and my legs still shaking, that was not going to happen.

But here's the thing: this challenge isn't about being perfect. It's about showing up when it's hard. So, we adapted, overcame, and pushed through 275 star jumps instead.

My legs are screaming. But this temporary, physical pain is nothing compared to the silent battles that so many men fight every single day. This discomfort is a tiny fraction of the strength it takes for a man to admit he's struggling with his mental health, or to face a cancer diagnosis.

That is why I'm doing this.

If I can push through the jelly legs and the blisters, we can all push to break the silence.

Just as important as the star jumps was today's 'Mo' Challenge: the "Mo-Mate Check-in." I've texted a friend to ask how he's really doing.

Please, be the mate who checks in. And if you can, please donate to this cause. It's about so much more than a daily workout; it's about changing and saving lives.

Donation to my campaign. ❤️

Movember 2025 is officially here!

Hey everyone - welcome to another legendary year of the Big Moustache on Campus Challenge.

This is your chance to join forces with students and universities across the UK to change the face of men’s health. Whether you’re growing a mighty Mo, moving for mental health, or hosting unforgettable Mo-ments on campus, every effort counts and makes a real difference.

Stay connected by following @movemberstudents on Instagram, where we’ll be sharing all the incredible support, stories, and fundraising happening across campuses this month.

Get growing. Get moving. Get Mo’ing!

Georgie, Mo HQ

Donate to my fundraiser via https://movember.com/m/15177097?mc=73 My "Miles for Mo" campaign started with a single, terrifying step: facing my biggest fear of heights and jumping out of a plane.
That moment was about showing the strength it takes for men to speak up about their health. Now, that journey continues, not with one big leap, but with 30 days of consistent effort.
Next Saturday, I'm launching "My Mo
Sista Story: The 30-Day, 60-Challenge Gauntlet."
Swipe through to see the full story.
For the next 30 days, I'll be taking on two challenges every single day:
1. A "Physical Push" to test my own resilience, including running my Mo-lathon dressed as a moustache.
2. A "Mo Sista Challenge" to actively listen, connect, and start the vital, often quiet, conversations about men's health.
This is my way of standing in solidarity. The physical difficulty is a daily, chosen reminder of the strength so many men show while facing health challenges they didn't choose.
I'm doing this to raise £2,500 for Movember's life-saving work in men's mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
And, to bring a little lightness to this tough month: if we hit that goal, I will happily take multiple pie's to the face in Exeter City Centre (with donation per pie going to Movember)!
Thank you for supporting my "Miles for Mo" journey. Every share, donation, and word of encouragement means the world.

Donate to my fundraiser via https://movember.com/m/15177097?mc=74 Day 2 (unfiltered) and my legs are officially JELLY!
We tackled the "Lumberjack Legs" challenge today, managing 80 squats. A massive thank you to my little brother for jumping in and joining the madness! This is the unfiltered, giggly reality of minute two... I'm honestly not sure which was the bigger workout, the squats or the laughing.
It's all fun, but it's for an incredibly important reason. Be the mate who checks in for a laugh, and also checks in on their mental health. This challenge shows the strength it takes to push through, but let's also find the strength to talk about men's health.
As a Mo Sista, I'm completing 60 challenges in 30 days to raise vital funds for Movember, supporting men's mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.
If you can donate anything, please check out the donation link in my bio.
Every little bit helps us get closer to the £2,500 goal (and that pie in the face!).

£5,555... AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED YET!

Exeter, you are absolutely incredible!

Movember starts TOMORROW, and we are completely blown away to see we've already raised a staggering £5,555! The momentum is electric, and this is only the beginning. Let's keep this energy high all month long as we continue to raise vital funds and awareness for men's health.

We are so proud of this community and our shared mission to change the face of men's health. We want to see everything you're up to! Whether you're growing a mo, moving for Movember, hosting an event, or having those important conversations.

PLEASE TAG US @movemberexeter in all your posts, stories, and updates. We want to share and celebrate all the amazing things you are doing!

Let's do this, Exeter.

Love your Mo Ambos
Leia, Ved & Ashton

Exeter Movember 2025 Ambassadors

Yesterday I faced one of my biggest fears and jumped out of a plane. It was one of the scariest moments of my life, but also one of the most empowering, because I wasn’t doing it just for me. I was doing it for the men in my life, for those who have struggled in silence, and for a cause that I believe in with my whole heart.

This is my second year as a Movember Ambassador and Mo Sister, and every day I am reminded why this movement matters so much. Movember isn’t about moustaches, it’s about men’s health in all its forms: mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. It’s about starting conversations that can save lives.

Too often, I’ve watched the men around me put on a brave face while carrying heavy battles behind closed doors. I’ve been there to support friends through their lowest points, and I’ve seen how hard it can be for men to admit they’re struggling. That stigma, the idea that vulnerability makes you weak, needs to end. And that’s why I’ll keep showing up, speaking up, and pushing myself beyond my limits.

Jumping out of a plane was terrifying, but it’s nothing compared to the courage it takes to reach out and say, “I’m not okay.” That’s the real bravery. And that’s why I take on these challenges: to raise awareness, to spark conversations, and to remind every man that he does not have to go through life alone.

Through the University of Exeter campaign and beyond, I want to build a community where men feel safe to open up, where they know they’ll be heard, and where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health. This isn’t just about one month. This is about lasting change, about standing together, and about saving lives.

On 27th September I’m doing something I never thought I would, jumping out of a plane.
I’m terrified of heights, but I’m taking the leap to raise money for Movember, supporting men’s health and mental health.

Every donation helps fund life-changing projects, so if you can spare anything, I’d be hugely grateful. You can donate here: https://movember.com/m/15177097?mc=60

Thanks to everyone backing me!
