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

This November Hawk and I will be walking 60 miles for the Movember 60 for 60 cause, for the 60 men worldwide who commit suicide every hour.

I have personal reasons to support this cause, after going through my own prostate cancer scare in the past few years. So far I have stayed lucky with my test results, and I am grateful I live in a country where high-quality medical screening and treatment are freely available. After several rounds of PSA tests, MRIs and biopsies, my next adventure looks like being prostate enucleation, which is a minimally invasive surgical treatment for BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia).

Thanks for taking the time to read this far. Whether you choose to give money or not, I encourage you to talk to your loved ones about regular screening for male cancers, and to have frank conversations about mental health.

Hi Harvey. Thank you for your donation. Talking about men's health, I was sick earlier this week and didn't respond to your donation sooner

A couple of uplifting things I found this Movember: first, it's wonderful to be surrounded by so many generous and encouraging colleagues at Metro Vancouver; second, just walking 60 miles has a great feelgood factor. Thank you to everyone for your amazing support. Metro Van Mos have raised close to $15,000 this year, and $1,300 was donated on my page. As the photo shows, my 'tache is a 30-day aberration, but for my sons it's a year-round choice.
