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

I was diagnosed with PTSD and major depression after witnessing the fatal accident of a loved one in the mid 2000s. With the accident etched in my mind, and the overwhelming grief, my mental health suffered immensely.

It took me approximately four years to really start to get over what had happened, heal and move on. What worked for me was seeking help and talking about my experience and deepest thoughts with professionals; belief in a higher power and that it was not the end for my loved one; self-help and positivity; seeing the good in life and not the bad; and ultimately wanting to be the best person I could be in honour of the loved one departed because she would want that.

I share my story with openness and vulnerability with the hope that I can help Movember and other organisations build mental health awareness. If you are struggling with mental health I hope that my story can be an example to you that these issues can be overcome.

If you are really struggling at this time, or if you know of a loved one or colleague that is struggling (or might be), please check in with them. Additionally there are many resources available on the Movember website that can help.
