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

There’s a quiet crisis affecting men across Canada. Each year, an estimated 4,000 to 4,500 people die by suicide, and men account for roughly three-quarters of those losses. Men between the ages of 50-64 are among those at higher risk. Behind these numbers are colleagues, friends, partners and family members whose struggles often go unnoticed until it’s too late. Many are anxious and overwhelmed, struggling quietly and wanting support, yet feeling unable to reach out because they believe they have to stay strong.

Stigma, isolation and outdated expectations around masculinity continue to make it hard for men to ask for help. Movember is working to change that by funding early-intervention and community-based mental health programs that help men talk openly, access support sooner and stay connected before crisis hits.

I support Movember because I believe these losses are preventable. With compassion, awareness and the right support, more men can get help earlier and live longer, healthier lives. Please donate and help drive meaningful, life-saving change.
