Ready to challenge outdated ideas about masculinity? This Movember, I'm rocking the 'stache and inviting you to a powerful conversation about "Reimagining Masculinity in Society" on November 12th at 1:30 PM (MST) with Jake Stika, executive director of Next Gen Men and myself at Headversity HQ. This webinar is open to everyone! We'll be sharing stories about the pressures men face and exploring strategies to spark meaningful conversations to challenge unhealthy stereotypes that are often rooted in early childhood. Join us and gain valuable insights into building a healthier world, together!

Why I Movember: As a young boy, my papa, Russ was diagnosed with prostate cancer and would count himself as one of the lucky ones. Russ caught it early and received the treatment he needed to defeat the cancer in his body.

Russ spent years in retirement raising funds for prostate cancer research and could often be found volunteering at the local mall in Penticton, encouraging other men to get tested too.

Russ considered himself lucky. He got to spend 25 more years on this planet watching his children and grandchildren grow up. Russ' brothers, Eddy and Murray, both passed away due to prostate cancer and, unfortunately, did not have the same luck -- they found out too late.

I Movember to honour my papa, Russ, Eddy and Murray by encouraging men to live healthier lives for the betterment of society as a whole. Won't you join me and please donate to my campaign if you can.

Thanks for your support!
