My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Prostate cancer
Mental health and suicide prevention

I didn’t grow up thinking about men’s health but now I can’t not think about it. I'm sharing why running has become more than just a personal challenge, and why I’ve tied my training and races to a purpose that matters: improving outcomes for men, especially those often overlooked.

I started seriously running in my late 30s because clearly, the best time to return to endurance sports is when your collagen levels are in retreat and recovery takes twice as long.

My first race? A 5km fundraiser I didn’t train for. I crossed the finish line feeling like an an Olympian... then signed up for a 10km and nearly didn’t make it. Humbling. And perfect. Recently I ran the NYC marathon before tackling a half because I clearly like punishing myself, but that's actually when running started to mean more than just finish lines.

Now, I run with purpose. I tie every race to a cause I care about and for the past few years, that cause has been men’s health because I am committed to changing the health behaviour paradigms associated with masculinity while challenging myself through an activity that literally keeps me on my feet.

Men are dying too young. Suicide rates for men are triple those of women. Black men are 2.5x more likely to die from prostate cancer. And yet we still don’t talk about it enough.

Movember is changing that and so can we.

This month, I’m running 100km and preparing for a race in February. I'm running:
• For men who carry silent struggles
• For women and families impacted when the men they love aren't okay
• For anyone who’s ever thought they weren’t “a runner” because if you show up, you are

So here I am, showing up again. If you can, please donate, share, or cheer from afar. Every step matters. Every conversation counts.

As Nas said, “It’s never what you do, but how it’s done.”
