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

This Movember, I'm raising funds and awareness for all the dads, brothers, sons and friends in our lives - because men's health affects all of us!!

When I was 16, my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. It turned my family's life upside down. Having to watch someone you love, especially someone who I believed to be the strongest person in the whole world, face something so frightening was incredibly difficult. Thankfully, my dad got through it, but that experience opened my eyes to how many families go through similar struggles, often in silence.

Too often, men feel ashamed to talk about their health - whether it's prostate cancer, testicular cancer or mental health. The truth is, these issue are widely treatable and often preventable when caught early.

Men's health isn't just a men's issue. It is a family issue, a community issue a HUMAN issue. I might not be who you might expect to be running a Movember campaign, but when men are healthy, open and supported, everyone benefits - partners, children, friends, workplaces and communities.

Your donations help fund cancer research, life saving programs and critical support for men struggling.

LETS DO THISSSSSSS
