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

Too many men are ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence - it’s often hard to spot the signs of poor mental health. Every 60 seconds a man takes his own life across the planet! I’m raising funds to support Movember to boost awareness of important mens health issues.

I lost my dear dad to late-diagnosed prostate cancer on the last day of Movember 2017. He’d bravely battled the cancer for 3 years - early diagnosis could have changed everything!

Movember is doing crucial work for prostate cancer - encouraging men to get themselves checked out before it’s too late, developing enhanced urine-based testing to replace less reliable PSA, and running post-prostatectomy treatment programmes to support the guys who’ve lived to tell the tale.

Please donate to help me support! Thank you.

Awesome inaugural HSBC-EY Collab Mo Running last night with 7.5km around Canary Wharf and some new Movember supporters!

Business Mos, the end is in sight!

For those that braved the shave 24 days ago, the stubble is coming back to you now. On your top lip at least.

You. Look. Good.

Now’s the time to dig deep, dig in and commit to Mo. Remember the men you’re doing it for and get those final donations in.

You're Mo legends.
