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

This is my third and final year fundraising for Movember.
Over the past two years, thanks to the incredible generosity of friends and family, I’ve personally raised £1,610 to support men’s health, mental health, and suicide prevention. I’m so grateful for that support, it truly means the world to me.

So here we go for the hat trick…

This year, I’ll be pushing myself harder than ever by:
• Running 100 km
• Cycling 200 km
• Completing 60 push-ups every single day throughout November

I know times are tough, and I don’t expect the same level of donations again. Please don’t feel under pressure, your encouragement, raising awareness, or even just checking in with a mate makes a difference too. But if you are able to contribute, every bit truly helps.

I also want to be clear: this will be my last fundraising year. I set myself the challenge of three years, each time going bigger, and I’m proud to finish on that note. After this, I’ll still be growing the moustache and supporting Movember every November, but without asking for donations again.

I chose to support Movember because too many men are still losing their lives too young. Suicide remains one of the leading causes of death among men under 50, with one man taking his life every single minute. While I haven’t personally been in that place, I know the importance of mental health support, and I want to play my part.

Like many others, I manage anxiety daily. Some days are tough, but therapy has given me tools that work, and running has become a huge outlet. I’m also fortunate to have my wife and friends I can talk to openly, not everyone has that, and that’s why Movember’s work is so vital.

Thank you for standing with me on this journey, whether by donating, sharing, or simply being part of the conversation.

47% of men don’t talk openly with friends and family about their struggles. Please reach out, you never know when someone might really need you. No one should ever feel that taking their life is the only option. Together, we can help change the awful statistic that sees a man lost to suicide every single minute.

Finally, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. When I started this two years ago, I never imagined the support I’d receive. I’ll always be grateful, and while this is my final year of fundraising, my commitment to Movember will continue every November.
