My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Men's health
Mental health and suicide prevention

Although Movember is more known for the growth of hair on one's top lip, and I'm sure I could probably grow more of a mo than others, I'm here to be an ally for the men in my life. My Dad, my brothers, my friends and my colleagues.
Looking after your own health, both physically and mentally is something I know I struggle with, so anything I can do to support a great cause that supports this is important.

Let's make this story personal for a minute - I had a really rough 2023 and my mental health was all over the place. I was struggling with work and home and life in general, everything was hard and I didn't feel like anything was working out for me. My manager could see there was a problem, so he pulled me aside and tried to help because he could see how much I was struggling and how much I'd changed, and not in a good way.

For me though, the changes in my outlook, my attitude to work, people, and friends were slow and gradual that I hadn't even noticed how much I wasn't coping. It was only when I found myself sitting on my couch at home crying and not knowing why that I realised there was something not right.

With the support of my manager, I was able to change my work environment, reach out to a Doctor and I started seeing him regularly to work my way through some of the roadblocks I didn't even realise were in my way.

I started on Anti-Depressants and was on them for over 12 months to help manage my depressive symptoms, and after further encouragement from friends, family and colleagues I went through the process of getting diagnosed with ADHD, which has a co-morbidity with Anxiety and Depression.

I'm now more than 12 months down the road from my diagnosis and I've found a good dosage of medication that both manages my ADHD and Depression and I've been able to return to work full time away on projects, which is one part of my job that I've always enjoyed.

I still have moments where I feel pretty lousy, but knowing more about how my brain operates, knowing how to rest and relax and more importantly, knowing when to reach out for help (as early as possible!) has made such an important difference in my life. So, anything that provides similar support to the people I care about is a cause I'm always willing to get behind, to show them it's ok to ask for help, and that feeling crappy doesn't have to be that way forever.

So, go donate money and force me to walk 120km, because exercise is good for my brain functions too!!
