My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health

Once again this Movember in memory of my father and my uncle both of whom died too young, I'm getting on board. I'm raising funds to tackle some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and poor mental health. Help me stop men dying unnecessarily.

In the years since I have been supporting Movember research has moved on and now I am grateful that I now have friends who have had successful procedures to put a halt to the threat to their lives from their diagnosis of prostate cancer and are now getting on with their lives and enjoying time with their children and grandchildren.

Rob, this really resonates. Thank you for sharing your story and for continuing to champion such an important cause in memory of your father and uncle. It’s inspiring to see the progress that’s been made thanks to efforts like yours—giving more men the chance to live longer and enjoy life with their families. I’m proud to support you in this.

Day 25 and slight change of style. Keen to push on through and raise some more cash to help tackle male suicide stats and ensure that men don’t die too young from suicide or prostate cancer.

Thanks all for donations yesterday and to Pringles for the extra top up. New photo of the mo growth on day 15 posted as promised. Reached the halfway point now my wife will be pleased to know!

Here is how the Mo Growth is going.

154 Week(s) Ago

Slow to get the mo space going this year but thought after a break of a few years it was time to raise some cash for the Movember Foundation which does such good work and awareness raising about men’’s health.

Slightly more grown up Mo style to push me to the end of the month of fund raising. Still time to support me today. Many thanks to those who have contributed already. If you can chip in £25 or more this morning the folks at Gillette will match the funds. So before you do you Black Friday shopping consider supporting a charity that are making real strides in funding research into men's health issues and raising awareness of mental health to stop men dying too early.

Day 23 of the Mo Growth and just wondering if there is still time for a different style for the last week.

Day 17 sees me looking like a member of the criminal underworld! the sort of photo you might expect to see on Crimewatch. Only two more weeks to a clean shaven face again and hopefully a long overdue haircut lockdown relaxation permitting.

This was how the Mo was growing after 9 Days

Growing a mo again this year (2020) especially for those who are struggling with mental health during the pandemic and to raise awareness of the importance of early diagnosis of cancer.
