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

Movember charity during the month of November is very important to me. It's a month I love as it brings the globe together to not only raise money but to make everyone aware on all Men's health issues. Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember I'm joining them. Together we can make a difference for men's health – in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Help me stop men dying too young. Charities are suffering in present financial conditions so hope my friends will join me on my quest and support.

The moustache is a beacon of hope and a symbol of change.

One conversation can change the world.

Sometimes in a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, all it takes is one person to remind us of the power of love, hope and togetherness.

Did you know that 20% of donations tend to come in once Movember is over?

Top tip to double your fundraising - Many organisations offer to match your funds raised for charity, pound for pound. If you're employed, ask your HR manager if this is offered by your company!
