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

With this I’ve decided I will be raising funds in the name of Mens mental health and testicular research by challenging myself to run 60kms in 30 days through the Movember movement. If I can raise a single dollar to encourage a single bloke to get his nuts checked early or to reach out to someone, I’ve achieved my goal.
Here’s a bit about my story and the reason behind it

Earlier this year I was diagnosed with testicular cancer and that was the day my life turned upside down, from the feeling of being completely invincible to being shaken to the core and left feeling blindsided by my own body, I’ve never been fitter, and I’ve never been healthier or so I thought. Rewind to early-2021 to when I discovered that I had a small lump starting to form on my testy and as a bloke I thought to myself “its nothing must be just a bit of skin inside my sack” within weeks of noticing it I felt a dull ache and decided that it was time to swallow the pride and sort this thing out.
The first scan showed a small unformed lump and advised it was a calcium build up, told it will pass but to keep a watchful eye from that day on I threw it into the back of my mind and continued to live my life without to much thought or care towards it
November 2022 the ache was back, and the lump had hardened and the situation had turned to something a bit more sinister, after a few visits to the doctors, a urologist and a re-scan new years passed and I was diagnosed. Its been a emotional journey to this point with the fight still on my hands.
With my operation looming I’ve decided to turn this into a positive and GRAB IT BY THE BALLS as I’ve struggled mentally with this for months but still brushing it off and telling people I’ve got this all the while crumbling internally and isolating myself mentally
What I am aiming to achieve from this is raising awareness and understanding that Mens Health be it mental or physical is so un treated because the stigma as blokes is we are invincible and that there is weakness in speaking out or asking for help, its getting better but we are far from there yet. If any of this hit home or you’ve contemplated talking to someone, DO IT NOW!
