Having been diagnosed with depression and also bipolar, Oli found that exercise - particularly running - helps him to manage his depression and keep it at bay.
So, this year he has decided to Move for Movember and will run 60km throughout the month. That's 60km for the 60 men we lose to suicide every hour across the world. Men like Oli's dad who took his own life when Oli was just 18 months old.
