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

To put it lightly - it’s been a tough year. Probably the most difficult year of my life. Right as the demands of life were reaching its peak (raising a young family with 2 kids under 5, career demands increasing, maintaining a house, and trying to be the best version of myself), my family experienced the devastating loss of my mom after a long fight with cancer. This loss absolutely took a toll on my mental health, and while I made some changes to address that, I still felt that my physical health was the worst it has been in my life. As we navigate this new life without a parent, I have decided to make this Movember about taking care of both my mental and physical health, along with spreading awareness and normalizing loss and grief. It’s important for men to know you don’t have to do this alone.

Coincidently, it’s also the 10 year anniversary of the death of my dear Uncle: Dave “Handlebar” Gordon. He was partly the inspiration for me to join the Movember movement to begin with, and I hope to keep his legacy alive with this campaign for years to come.

Hey Mr G. Hope you see this! You’re the first person I Think of every time I hear Movember. It makes me realize how much of an impact you had on everyone while we were growing up at GLO. I’ll always remember you telling the story about your uncle, and how proud you are to grow a handlebar moustache.

Week 3 Mo Update: All I want for Christmas is eternal happiness to all, for men to start talking about their health, and for you to donate to my #movember2017 campaign. Had a big spike this week and still have a shot at meeting my goal of raising $1000 towards men's health initiatives.
Stay Furry, Mo bros.

Mo update: Week 2. I may look unimpressed, but I am happy to say I am 1/4 of my way to my goal for this year's Movember campaign. Unfortunately, that's not good enough! I made my goal $1000 this year, and I need your help. Please - if you can, then donate to this incredible organization that has raised millions of dollars to men's health initiatives. Click on the link attached, or Google Movember Canada Ben Grimstead. To my other MoBros out there... keep up the good work on your lip blankets!
