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

So, 2020 has not been great. And, sadly, my annual moustache is yet another casualty.

Honestly, now more than ever, the mental health aspects of Movember should be on peoples minds. But for exactly that reason, I'm not going to be growing a Mo this year - between the fact that I am seriously struggling with burnout and depression this year, don't expect to see anyone I know in person this November, and the fact that personal grooming and hygiene are at best an afterthought this year (see pt 1), it's just not happening.

So I'll be sitting this one out, though I'll be putting my money where my mouth (well, upper lip) is and making a donation. If you find yourself here, looking to throw a few bob my way, I hope the lack of silly facial hair doesn't come as too much of a disappointment, and I hope you still donate to the cause - either here, or elsewhere, I'm not picky.

Stay safe.

And that’s a wrap on Movember 2024!

You’ve grown, moved, and rallied together, all in the name of men’s health. Thanks to your incredible efforts, we’ve smashed our target, raising over €900,000 to fund life-changing programmes and research for prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health – an unbelievable achievement. Thank you!

A special shoutout to Mercury, who claimed the #1 spot this year with an absolutely stellar performance from their team. You’ve set the bar high for everyone!

A huge thank you also to our top 10 teams:
MUFG Investor Services, C-PAC Modular, Irish Prison Service, Johnson & Johnson Ireland, Kilsaran, Workday, JLL, EY Ireland, and Gallagher IE.
You’ve led the way and inspired us all!

To every single organisation and individual who contributed – you’ve helped us make a massive difference for men across Ireland and the globe.

Wishing you all a joyful festive season, and we can’t wait to see you back in 2025 for another amazing campaign!

Mo love,
The Movember Business Club Team

We’ve done it – the €900,000 target has been smashed!

Huge thanks to everyone for your incredible efforts in getting us here. We are excited about the future of men’s health and all we can achieve together as a community… Lets do this!

But the leaderboard isn’t closed just yet! There’s still time to make an impact and climb the ranks, with the final leaderboard closing tonight at 10pm. Let’s finish strong and see if we can push those totals even higher.

If your company has a matching scheme, now’s the perfect moment to double your donations. Or reach out to us if you need help – every extra euro counts!

Thank you all for making this Movember unforgettable. Let’s give it one last push and make these final hours count!

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

There’s still time to get your final donations in and to match your funds if your company has a matching scheme. The leaderboard will close at 10pm on the 11th DECEMBER so hurry, there’s still time to change your final position!

Work had a headshot session in aid of Movember, so I decided to see if a sufficiently talented photographer would be able to make this whole situation look any better.

Another year, another dodgy moustache relegated to "On this day" posts on Facebook. This year's Mo went further than most, both in distance (3 continents!) and time, since I gave it a buffer to make sure that November was over back home. Time zones confuse me.

Thanks for your generosity if you donated - either to me, to someone else doing Movember, or really to anything. Charity is very cool. And if you want to be even cooler, it's not too late to throw a few bob my way for a good cause.

Regularly scheduled beard services will resume shortly.

1 week in. Now have something that could optimistically be called a moustache.

This is the face of regret. Cold, cold regret
