Fundraising for cause areas including:
Mental health and suicide prevention

9 years in, and the moustache is just the excuse.

Movember has become personal for me. I live with diabetes — managing it is a daily thing — and a couple of years ago I got serious about my fitness. Two years in, it hasn't been smooth: ups, downs, lost momentum, doubts. But I kept showing up, because consistency and discipline beat motivation every time.

And here's the part we don't talk about enough: mental health. It touches every one of us — chefs, parents, business owners, all of us. The pressure to keep going, to provide, to smile through it. I've felt it. Chances are you have too, or someone you love has.

So this year I'm growing the Mo to raise $1,050 — funding real work in men's health: prevention, treatment, and breaking the silence around mental health. If I've ever cooked for you, made you laugh, or talked you through a rough week — throw a few dollars at the moustache. And if you're struggling, reach out to someone. That takes more strength than growing this thing ever could.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men, except for skin cancers. The chance of getting prostate cancer goes up as a man gets older. Most prostate cancers are found in men over the age of 65. African American men and Caribbean men of African ancestry are more likely to develop prostate cancer than men of other races. Having one or more close relatives with prostate cancer also increases a man’s risk of having prostate cancer.

“How and why suicides happen is incredibly complex. What we do know is that helping men establish better social connections can improve their overall wellbeing and reduce the risk of suicide. In our mission to make lasting change and dramatically reduce the rate of male suicide, Movember funds community-based early intervention programs that address mental health through a male lens.”

Canada has the highest suicide rate (suicides per 100,000) for men and women aged 45 to 59. This is unlike most other countries, where suicide rates tend to be higher among older adults than among middle-aged adults.
