This year, my Movember motivation is personal.

I lost my mam to a brain aneurysm. She was one of the most giving people I’ve ever known. She would give someone the clothes off her back, even if it meant going without herself.

Her kindness is a big part of why I’m taking part again. I want to honour her memory by helping others, something she did throughout her life.

I’m raising funds and awareness for men’s health, supporting prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

My mam helped people because she cared. This Movember, I want to follow her example.

For my mam. For the people we love. For anyone who needs help and support.
