Target: $6,000
raised $11,489 since 2010
My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health
Prostate cancer
Mental health and suicide prevention

To all of my first responder family and to all of my Mo bros and Mo sisters:

Having the courage to break silence and share the impact of service and life is the antidote to stigma, and empathy is the most powerful antidote for shame, whether it is empathy and love for yourself or others.

The loyalty to have each other’s back in moments of struggle is the true test of the first responder family and all families for that matter!

Sharing the impact of service gives others permission to come forward and serves as a powerful shift in organizational culture!

Let's do this together!

Thank-you for your commitment and support.

We've now arrived at Movember 30 and everyone in this challenge should pause for a moment to reflect on an amazing job done, what can only be described as an epic 'stache and an impressive commitment to help change the face of men's health.

As Mo season is coming to a close, I want to flag that the leaderboards will officially close on Thursday, December 7th at 5 pm EST, marking the moment we crown our 2023 Movember champions of each challenge. While donations can still be received after this time, please note that they won't contribute to the leaderboard race.

Thanks for all you have done this year and will continue to do as we move forward.

United We Mo!!!

So glad to have you back again this year - one more day to go! We really appreciate all you've done from men's health. The fundraising yes - but the connection and conversations you've started with your efforts - good as gold! Thank you!

One man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides. This is the shocking state of men’s mental health globally. I’m proud to support the fundraising efforts of Movember and wanted to share some resources created by the International Association of Fire Fighters.

Thanks for the shout out from Mo Leader Mitch about our BC Firefighter Resiliency program! Movember donations really have made a local impact here in BC and the funds have gone to support BC firefighters and police in a time when they need it the most.
I’m also very happy to be part of the Coquitlam Firefighters’, Movember team! So far I’m the top firefighter fundraiser in Canada and would love to keep it that way!!

And so it begins! Movember is on, and as promised, I am clean shaven and ready to grow a Mo to raise money for men's health!

Last year Mo bros and Mo sisters raised a tonne of cash! Part of those proceeds went to fund our BC Firefighter Resiliency program! Here is a video promo created by the amazing peeps from Movember!
