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

20 years ago Movember started with a simple idea for a walking talking billboard for Men’s Health in the shape of a Mo – since then the humble Moustache has started billions of conversations. Now I can’t grow a Mo, but I can take the essence of it, a conversation starter on my face & have some fun with it! I’ll be painting my face every day for a month & wearing it out and about to start as many conversations as I can. Here’s where I need your help, I need you to choose what goes on my face – for a donation of $50 I’ll paint my face with whatever you nominate for one day. No donation/request means no paint for that day. Simply pop a comment in when you make your donation with your request. Get in early to reserve your face of choice. You can keep track of my face schedule for the month here https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18imM7-BpJaO9DoBnG2dputAlz7dHmVreC2sh6vuKt4M/edit?usp=sharing
You can follow me on Instagram to check out my face of the day each day!

There are a couple of rules:
• I have veto rights over anything offensive, I’ll give you a second chance to pick something decent though
• Be creative, no double ups
• 30 days only – if all the days of the month ‘sell out’ then you’re welcome to send me an appreciation donation instead 
• Have a specific day in mind? Feel free to ask for a date in your comment, otherwise I’ll find a spot that fits.
• Is $50 out of your budget? Grab 5 friends & pitch in $10 each instead – every dollar counts!
Let’s have some fun doing good & Mo on!

The last twelve months have brought the need for Movember into sharper focus for me as our family lost a beautiful soul to a battle with his mental health. The ripple effect of this tragedy will continue to reverberate across his rural community and especially for his wife and four children. While it may be too late for him, if my efforts can do anything to have someone seek help earlier because they feel it’s OK to talk about the darkness they are experiencing, then it will be worth it. I do know there are hundreds of people who would have intervened if had they known the depth of his struggle and known what to do.
