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

16 years ago, I became a Mo Bro and it was just purely to grow (at the time) a pretty average moustache. Now, its pretty bloody epic!! I was never actively involved in fundraising and raising awareness for what Movember stands for but over the years as I grew more as a human being, my attitude towards helping people and raising awareness changed.

I am taking a different approach to my campaign this year. When we talk about Men's Health, we have to take into consideration the impact it has on Women's health as well which is why I have been reaching out to everyone from all walks of life to get their perspective and experiences about this important topic.

Everyday for the month of Movember, I will be chatting with a different person, man/women, young/old, white/black, straight/gay and from whatever ethnic background to talk about Movember and what men's health means to you. No matter someone's background, we all have a story to tell about men's heath. The conversations will be recorded and posted onto my social media pages for everyone to see. The conversations have been for therapeutic, not just for the people I have spoken with but for myself as well.

When it comes to Movember, the support also comes from the Mo Sistas who have supported me throughout the years. When I started colouring my Mo pink 8 years ago for the last week of Movember, I didnt think it would flow into the person I have now become.

When you take a step back and look at what these charities do for the community, Movember, Breast Cancer Awareness, Life Blood, Brain Cancer Awareness just to name a few, they all have the same thing in common, its supporting those within the community who need it the most. Everyone has a story to tell and education starts by having that conversation and to help educate people not only by making a change in their lives but in others as well.

As a father of two adult sons, I want them to be able to reach out and express their feelings, express their emotions and not being afraid to stand up for what they believe in.

There is one thing that I have learnt over the last few years, no matter who you are or what you do, just be yourself. If you want to change yourself and become a better person for it, then do it. Do not let negativity influence your decision to make something of yourself, no matter what you do.
