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

Movember focuses on the three key areas of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health/suicide prevention. Over the last few years I’ve lost friends & family members to cancer and unfortunately have loved ones who are currently battling this hideous disease.

Mental health and suicide prevention is a subject that’s extremely close to my heart. I’ve many friends and former colleagues who suffer to this day with mental health issues, some of whom have been brave enough to open up about how this has led to their having suicidal thoughts. If I can play any part, however small, in raising awareness and funds around these issues, then I intend to do so.

I appreciate that in this day and age you’re probably asked for donations on an almost weekly basis, but this is such a good cause and one that means an awful lot to me.

As such I’ll be partaking in Movember this year, growing a moustache in the month of November and committing to running a MINIMUM of 60km across the month too (60km for the 60 men lost to suicide each HOUR across the world)

If you’ve read this far, then perhaps you’d be willing to consider making a donation of some sort. There is no donation too small or too large!

With much love & thanks,

Derek
