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

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember I'm joining them.
Together we can make a difference for men's health – in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.
Help me stop men dying too young.

From personal experience, I can attest to men's natural reticence. So many men suffer in solitude for so long, that they become accustomed to putting on a mask no matter what is going on inside their heads; men dealing with mental health issues are less likely to come forward to ask for help. As a society, there is much work to be done to break down the stigma of talking openly about one's struggles with mental health. An impactful first step anyone can take is to simply ask how someone is doing. Although many men will intransigently assure that they're fine, we must all do our part to persistently ensure that others are not struggling alone.
