My motivation

This Movember, I’ll be shaving off my beard and starting fresh — growing a moustache from scratch to raise awareness for a cause that hits close to home. In my family, a few of the men I look up to have faced prostate cancer — a diagnosis that changes everything, not just for the person but for everyone who loves and supports them. Seeing their strength, resilience, and courage through treatment has left a lasting impact on me. It’s reminded me how important it is to talk about men’s health, to get checked early, and to remove the stigma around opening up about these issues.

Too many men still avoid the doctor, shrug off symptoms, or feel that conversations about health and wellbeing make them look weak. That needs to change. Movember isn’t just about the moustache — it’s about sparking those conversations and raising funds that directly support research, education, and vital mental and physical health programs for men.

I’m taking part this year not only in honour of the men in my family but for every man who’s fighting prostate cancer, every son, brother, or friend who might one day face it, and every loved one standing by their side. If my small effort helps even one person take their health seriously or book that check-up, it’ll be worth it.

Let’s start the conversation. Let’s make a difference — one mo at a time.
