Pour ceux qui me connaissent bien, vous saurez que je suis devenu oncle pour la première fois cette année, d’un petit garçon nommé Raphaël. Puis, mon coéquipier et grand ami est papa une deuxième fois, pour le petit Éloi.  

Pendant que mon ami remplit son rôle de papa, je porterai le flambeau des « beaux pouèles » pour les deux cette année. Ce fut une année de nouveauté et de beauté, à découvrir un nouveau type d’amour chacun, soit entre oncle et neveu pour moi et entre papa et fils pour Julien – j’ai donc décidé de dédier cette année à ces deux petits.

J’espère, pour eux, que leur terrain de jeu où ils grandiront aura évoluer :  

Qu’ils apprennent une nouvelle définition de c’est quoi « être un homme »;
Qu’ils ne cachent pas leurs émotions ou leurs sentiments;
Qu’ils se sentent à l’aise de parler ouvertement et respectueusement;
Qu’ils se permettent de se découvrir, de s’épanouir et de grandir;
Qu'ils portent ce dont ils veulent;
Qu’ils vivent pleinement leur authenticité sans limites et sans freins;
Qu’ils ne se sentent pas limité d’aimer;
Qu’ils s’aiment, qu’ils aiment leur entourage;
Qu’ils prennent soin de leur santé et de celles de leurs amis;
Qu’ils rendent tabou de demander à un ami s’il va bien;
Qu’ils apprennent à foncer, à tester les limites, à déconstruire les stéréotypes;
Qu’ils défendent ce qui leur tient à cœur;
Qu’ils vivent à leur façon, pleinement.  

Je leur souhaite d’avoir un terrain de jeu qui aura fait son chemin.

Je leur souhaite d’avoir des modèles comme j’ai eu, et d’être entourés par des personnes qui auront cette ouverture et cette sensibilité. C’est déjà un bon début que par la nature de leurs pères respectifs, deux hommes exemplaires qui n’ont pas peur de faire preuve d’empathie et de montrer leurs émotions. Ils ont de la chance !

Si vous souhaitez soutenir cette cause qui me tient à cœur avec un don, petit comme grand, je vous en remercie à l'avance ! Créons un meilleur futur pour les jeunes à venir !

Movember 30 is just around the corner—time to ace the final exam!

Thank you for laying a strong foundation of support throughout Movember.
As we head toward the final stretch, take a moment to appreciate the hard work—you’ve raised the bar for men’s health with every Mo, every event, and every dollar raised.

Mark this deadline in your calendar: the leaderboards will officially close on Tuesday, December 10th, at 5 PM EST. That’s when we’ll award the 2024 U of Mo Champions. While donations can still come in after this deadline, they won’t count toward the leaderboard standings.

Let’s finish strong and continue to build a brighter future for men’s health together. Thank you for being the scholars of this amazing movement!

Ah, Week 3 of Movember—you’re really getting the course work now! That Mo is shaping up like a semester-long project—getting more refined with each passing day. Whether you're aiming for a sharp, well-organized look or letting it grow naturally like an open-ended assignment, you’re well on your way to a top-tier result.

Don’t let the pressure build—some regular grooming can help you keep everything in check! And remember, every hair is part of the curriculum you’re following to support men’s health.

Keep working hard and stay focused; you’re all helping us change the face of men’s health by growing, moving, hosting, and Mo’ing your own way!

Week 1 of Movember is rounding up!

If you're Growing, we hope you've got some solid stubble making an appearance and those Mos are starting to take shape.

If you're Moving, Hosting, or Mo’ing Your Own Way, keep up the fantastic momentum—you're all doing an incredible job raising both funds and awareness for men's health!

So many teams are absolutely smashing it this year. Take a look at the Mo leaderboard below:

Thank-you for your commitment and support.

We've now arrived at Movember 30 and everyone in this challenge should pause for a moment to reflect on an amazing job done, what can only be described as an epic 'stache and an impressive commitment to help change the face of men's health.

As Mo season is coming to a close, I want to flag that the leaderboards will officially close on Thursday, December 7th at 5 pm EST, marking the moment we crown our 2023 Movember champions of each challenge. While donations can still be received after this time, please note that they won't contribute to the leaderboard race.

Thanks for all you have done this year and will continue to do as we move forward.

United We Mo!!!
