My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Men's health
Mental health and suicide prevention

I take part in Movember because men’s mental health matters to me... and because I like amusing facial hair.

This is my ninth Movember. It’s also my ninth year of Spartan racing, and on 22 November I’m taking on a Spartan Ultra: 50km and 60 obstacles.

Sixty obstacles. Sixty men lost to suicide around the world every hour. I’ll be carrying that number with me on race day.

The physical obstacles are the visible ones. The harder ones are in our heads: “I’m fine,” “no one wants to hear it,” “why bother.” This month I’m sketching a few of those mental obstacles as cartoons, because sometimes it helps to see your own brain doing something ridiculous.

Seven years ago I set myself a wild goal: raise $5,000 for Movember. I wanted to show my girls what it looks like to go after something hard, so I ran a Spartan race with that goal printed on my shirt. A local screen printer and a local barber both sponsored me. I gave it everything, and 30 people backed me. We raised $1,564. Not $5,000.

Nine years in, I’m well past halfway to that $5K. It's unlikely I'll get there this year, but I’ll certainly get closer. Falling short didn’t mean stopping, and I hope that’s what my girls have seen too. For me, mental health has never been something you fix once. It’s progress, not perfection.

200km. 60 obstacles. One Spartan Mo. One step closer to $5K.

If you’ve ever struggled quietly, or helped a mate who has, this one’s for you too.
