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

Movember has helped me through cancer, and helped to highlight the mental health impact that it caused later on. We all need to support each other and raise awareness of men's physical and mental health issues. Movember helps us all to do that in our own ways.

Now I want to support others who need help in whatever way is right for them.

How I'm
getting involved

I'm moving 600 miles this Movember for the 60 men we lose each hour of every day.

Twas the night before Movember, when all through the land,
Not a whisker was stirring, not one single strand.
The razors were readied by the sink with care,
In hopes that a smooth-to-be face would soon be there.
The Mo Bros and Sisters were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Mo glory ran through their heads.

Yes folks, the hairiest month of the year begins TOMORROW!!

Hopefully all the plans for your team’s campaigns are in place, and if not – there is still time to recruit, make plans and build hype. Last year the sports challenge made a serious impact, and we’re gonna do it all again this year.

BE THE DIFFERENCE IN MOVEMBER 2024!

This rubbish weather is making it hard to get out and about. Most of my km covered has been indoors on the Wattbike in the garage which is helping my health, but not getting me out in the fresh air.

We do have the Movember CC weekly ride every Wednesday at 1830 GMT on Zwift though that everyone is welcome to come and join.

Day 4 and my Movember moving has me ahead of target so far. I am feeling the exercise already (probably because I didn't train) but it is good to get moving in whatever way I can

Yesterday I completed my goal for Mo'ving 300km in November, a whole week early. Appropriately it was completed during the Movember CC weekly ride on Zwift, but the total was done with a combination of commuting to work, indoor cycling and walking the dog. This shows that a little and often adds up, getting some fresh air and exercise can help with your physical and mental health, by yourself or with mates. You don't have to be an athlete, just get out and do something.
