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

Today is my Dad's 66th birthday. He passed away from cancer eight years ago on November 3rd, 2016, two days after his 57th birthday. I miss him a lot; he's the reason I started participating more actively in Movember. It makes me feel like I can do something to honour his memory while raising money for a great cause.

I also participate in memory of my cousin, Nathan Mintz, who would have turned 30 this January. He left us on October 27, 2021, due to struggles with mental health which led to his suicide.

To date, I've raised $7168 for men's mental health research. This year I'm aiming to add $1000 to that total. Even more importantly, our team - The Pillsbury Mo-Boys - raised $5415 last year, and is going for $5500 this year. Help us make that happen with a donation.

This one's for Dad and Nate.

Hey Alec, been a long time but I always get a kick out of seeing your updates. I didn’t know about your dad and cousin, sorry to hear and thank you for sharing. I lost my dad this year, it’s really tough. Good for you for raising money, it’s a great initiative. Wishing you all the best.

I'm sure you make your father and Nathan very proud of you for continuing to remember them like this and to bring attention and essential funds to men's health! We are very proud of you, too! Happy to help out and sorry it can't be more. Love you so much, Gord and Margaret

And we’re off!

Movember begins today. This fundraiser is very important to mel it's how I honour my dad Jim and cousin Nate, both of whom passed away due to men's health issues during this week of the year - Dad in 2016 and Nate in 2020. I miss these two men a lot and I love being able to do something in their memory. ❤️

Let the growing begin!
