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

Calling the world we live in a roller coaster would be putting it mildly. There’s so much happening, so many crises and causes competing for attention, that it’s hard to keep focus on anything for long. But some issues remain constant, and Movember is one of them.

This will be my 18th year spreading awareness and raising money for Movember. Many people know Movember for the moustaches and the fundraising around prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Over time, Movember has grown - expanding into suicide prevention and men’s mental health, recognizing how deeply these challenges affect individuals, families, and communities.

I raise money for all of these causes, but for me, mental health is the thread that ties everything together. It touches every part of Movember’s mission. It’s the piece that reaches the widest circle, the one that can change lives quietly, steadily, and profoundly. Supporting mental health creates ripples that make the world a more positive place.

As always, I’m incredibly grateful to those who have contributed in the past. And to anyone who’s been unsure, or curious about where the money goes — please reach out. I’m always happy to talk about why this matters and how Movember makes a real difference.

Let’s do this!

Here’s to a great Movember! Whether the moustache turns out magnificent, questionable, or somewhere in between, the reason behind it is what really matters.

What’s one thing Movember has taught you about yourself?

For a long time, I thought that something was wrong with me. I thought that I wasn’t “man enough” when it came to adulting. However, it’s nice to know that being this way is better for people around me. Oh, and I also learned that I really hate growing a moustache.



I quite enjoyed answering these and would welcome more questions if folks would like to submit them. Feel free to send me a message with your question(s) and I will do my best to answer them as soon as possible.

What conversation do you hope your Movember post or moustache sparks this year?

I think the conversation that I hope to spark is about self-care. Lots of guys put off going to see a health professional (medical or otherwise) when it comes to themselves. Not only is avoiding aid detrimental to oneself – it’s also a tax on the healthcare system. Guys that don’t get things taken care of eventually have a larger host of problems to deal with, which costs more time and money to take care of. Better to head things off at the pass.

I was doing some filing the other day and found some photos from Movembers past – I have been doing it since 2008, after all. It has definitely been a journey and a half! I was also chatting with a friend of mine about how to make it personal – about how, from time to time, people ask me various questions about my fundraising.

Last year, I asked AI to look at my various years of campaigning and to ask me questions. This year, rather than wasting resources, I thought I would turn to friends and people that I know to ask me questions about the campaign. So, over the remaining time, I’ll post some of the questions and my corresponding answers.

Has supporting Movember changed how you show up for the men in your circle?

This is something of a chicken-and-egg question. Some people change because of how Movember speaks to them – but I think that the way that I already was before campaigning is quite complementary. Let’s be real – I am not the most macho of guys. I’m sensitive and I’m not afraid to check in on my friends to see how they are doing – nor am I shy about expressing how I feel to those close to me (and probably those who aren’t). The one way that Movember has changed things is perhaps making it more “official” – I now have an entire movement behind me. It’s much easier to cite research or access resources that have a label – people like labels. So Movember has definitely changed how I show up for the men in my circle – just not in the way that you might have thought.
