Here is my story.

It started back in 2010. I overheard a couple of fellas at a local cafe laughing and talking about their moustaches. They mentioned "Movember." I searched it up as soon as I got home, and what I learned changed everything.

As I read about Movember’s mission, painful memories began to surface—memories of all the men in my life who died far too young and far too soon.

My dad, my grandfather, my uncles, my mentors. Almost every male role model I had growing up was gone.
In 1969, my mum passed away at just 42. Dad, who was already partially paralyzed from a work-related stroke years earlier, took over running the household and caring for my sister and me. He gave us everything he had until 1973, when a massive heart attack took him from us at just 48 years old. I was only 13. That same year, my grandfather passed away too.
Extended family stepped in to raise us and keep us afloat, showing incredible love and support—until, one by one, they passed away as well.

Reading about Movember made me realize I couldn't just sit back. It gave me a voice and a purpose: to help men take control of their health so other families wouldn't have to endure the loss mine did.

Prostate cancer, testicular cancer, poor mental health, and suicide are robbing families of the men they love every single day. I made it my mission to start conversations, encourage regular health checks, and simply be there for fellas when they need someone to talk to.

Then in 2016, that mission saved my own life.

During a routine health check—despite having zero symptoms—I asked the doctor to run "the lot." That simple request included a PSA blood test, which caught prostate cancer early. In 2017, I had robotic surgery to remove my prostate, and today I remain vigilant with annual checks.

I do this work because I don’t want what happened to the men I adored to keep happening to the dads, brothers, sons, and friends in our communities today.

While men’s health is a 365-day commitment for me, November is when we join hands worldwide to make a real noise.

You can make a difference. Sign up to be a Mo Bro or Mo Sister. Grow a moustache, move for men's health, host an event, start a conversation, or make a donation to my campaign.

You can still support my Movember campaign and help raise awareness for men’s health by donating through my Movember page - https://movember.com/m/thegreyone?mc=60.

Let’s make this one count — for all the men, and their families and friends who support the men in their lives.

Hey everyone. Just quick up date and a call to action. We have 4 days to go. Just $368 to reach a $20,000 milestone over the past 12 years. It's within our reach. If you haven't already made a small donation, then please do. If you have, but know a family member or a friend who hasn't donated this year, please reach out to them. It is just a question. The answer will be a yes or a no. Its not a biggie. They'll always love you no matter what they say.
