My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Men's health
Mental health and suicide prevention

Another year and another stache. The topic of mental health has constantly grown as I've gotten older, with more people realizing how important it is in our day to day lives and how we function as human beings. It's something I never really thought of until I went through my own struggles, started to lose friends, and saw family members having trouble getting through the day. And though I will never know exactly what the friends I lost were going through day in day out, or what pushed them to that point, I do know that I can do a better job of talking about my own feelings and trying to be there for others when they need someone talk to, someone to listen, or just someone to hang out with.

It’s about opening up the conversation and supporting one another. Nobody should be afraid, ashamed or embarrassed to talk about how they are feeling or to reach out for help when they need it, because you’re not alone.

I wish that I made that more clear to the friends I've lost. I wish I checked in more. I wish I could have helped them in whatever way was possible. But it's hard to know. And many times it's up to each individual to reach out for help when they feel it is right, when they have the courage. By opening up the conversation and ending the stigma we help give those people courage. Help them realize it's ok to talk about it. Make it the new norm so we can have those meaningful conversations before it's too late. And the Movember charity and movement helps with this.

I’m extremely grateful and lucky that I am surrounded by such supportive friends and family who are always there for me. I can’t imagine what the last few years of my life would have been like without them. But many people aren’t as lucky as I am, they don’t have a network they can reach out to when they need it. So here I am, along with my teammates to advocate and raise awareness for men’s mental health and suicide prevention. Help me by donating, by spreading the word, or just by taking an extra minute out of your day to say hi and ask someone how they're doing.

Because you should never underestimate the power of a simple conversation.
