My motivation

After four years of growing my beard, I wanted a meaningful reason to finally shave it off - and Movember felt like the perfect cause to do it for.

At first, it was a simple thought: if I’m going to shave, it should be for something bigger than me. But the more I sat with it, the more it connected. My stepfather battled both prostate and oesophageal cancer, and those experiences left a mark. Being a dad myself, I think a lot about the kind of example I’m setting - that strength isn’t about keeping quiet or pretending everything’s fine. Men today don’t need to bottle things up. Talking, checking in, and getting checked is being strong.

The beard doesn’t define me. Shaving it off is my way of showing that real confidence comes from what’s underneath - not just the beard, but the willingness to be open, vulnerable, and human.

As the razor comes out, the goal is to raise $2,000 to support men’s health - from cancer research to mental health and suicide prevention. If one conversation or donation helps a man open up or reach out, that’s worth far more than the beard I’m losing.

We’re well over half of our Movember goal - and honestly, Mark Myles and I feel incredibly grateful. Every donation, message, and bit of support means more than we can say.

When this started, it was just about shaving the beard for a cause.. but it’s turned into something bigger - seeing friends, family, and even strangers come together for men’s health and mental wellness.

Now, let’s get Mark to the $1K goal! Then we re-assess the fundraising mark.
