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

The Movember Foundation is the only global charity focused solely on men's health, so this Movember I'm getting on board. I'm raising funds to tackle some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. Help me stop men dying too young.

The results are in for the 2025 U of Mo Campus Challenge — and what a year it has been!

Students, clubs, societies, and campuses across Canada came together to raise $389,272 for men’s health, with 1288 students across 316 campuses taking part.

Now, to crown our campus champion.

With an impressive $30,687 raised, McMaster University is officially the 2025 U of Mo Champion.

This year saw some of the closest competition we’ve had. McGill University took silver, Concordia University secured bronze, and University of Western Ontario and University of Waterloo rounded out our top contenders.

To every student who participated — thank you. You’ve sparked conversations, raised awareness, and helped push men’s health forward within your communities.

Your leadership now helps build a healthier future later.

Week 3 is wrapping up, and campuses across Canada are absolutely crushing it. Students, clubs, faculties, and teams are stepping up — growing bold Mos, hosting events, and raising awareness for men’s mental health and prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

A special shoutout to Pringles, whose dollar match this week gave student fundraising an incredible lift. Thanks for helping amplify the impact across campuses.

See who’s climbing the campus leaderboard.

Let’s keep the student energy high as we head into the final week. Finish strong, keep spreading the word, and keep showing your campus what Movember is all about.

Week 2 of the U of Mo Challenge is wrapping up!

Two weeks in, and campuses across Canada are showing up in a big way. The Mos are coming in strong, teams are rallying, and students are raising their voices for men’s mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

From residence competitions to campus events, student groups have been bringing serious energy — and it’s making a huge impact.

Check out this week’s leaderboard and see where your school stands.

Let’s bring that momentum into Week 3. Keep growing, keep moving, and keep sparking conversations that matter across your campus.

Ah, Week 3 of Movember—you’re really getting the course work now! That Mo is shaping up like a semester-long project—getting more refined with each passing day. Whether you're aiming for a sharp, well-organized look or letting it grow naturally like an open-ended assignment, you’re well on your way to a top-tier result.

Don’t let the pressure build—some regular grooming can help you keep everything in check! And remember, every hair is part of the curriculum you’re following to support men’s health.

Keep working hard and stay focused; you’re all helping us change the face of men’s health by growing, moving, hosting, and Mo’ing your own way!

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.
