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

For me, Movember is personal.

I've experienced first-hand how difficult life can become when you're struggling with your mental health. Growing up wasn't easy. I've faced abandonment, abuse, homelessness and some incredibly dark periods in my life where I genuinely couldn't see a way forward.

There were times when I didn't think I'd make it to the life I have today.

But I did.

Today, I'm a partner, a dad to two wonderful children, and I'm building the kind of loving, stable home I once desperately needed myself. Getting here hasn't been easy, and it's taught me that even when life feels hopeless, things really can get better.

I know how easy it is, particularly as a man, to bottle everything up, put on a brave face and convince yourself that you just need to keep going. But nobody should have to face their darkest moments alone.

That's why I'm supporting Movember, particularly its work around mental health and suicide prevention.

If sharing even a little of my story encourages one person to open up, ask for help, or realise that their life is worth fighting for, then it's worth it.

You are not defined by where your story began, and you deserve the chance to see where it goes.

Let's change the face of men's mental health, one conversation at a time.

I'm so happy that you are still here and that you have a life that you once believed was never possible.
Good luck with Movember. I hope this little bit helps.
