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

As always, my personal motivation is my brother Henry for taking part in Movember. He lost his fight with cancer in 2007 (he was 52) and now I'm fighting to help save others by furthering the cause of Movember. This year, that motivation has expanded to include coworkers undergoing cancer treatment and others that are dealing with mental health issues.

There is so much more hardship affecting everyone these days that the support of brotherhood and Movember is crucial. More so now than ever.

Thank you for the support.

We are half a Mo away from the start of this month's campaign. Getting ready to start clean on Movember 1st. (Rethinking as it was -4 this morning in Manitoba.) That rush of cool air on a freshly shaven upper lip is exhilarating.

IT seems that the Facebook fundraiser is not directly linked to my page here for some reason. I have an additional $315 raised on that platform that does not show here.

As promised, a video of my wife’s happily removing the Mo I painstakingly grew all month.

Another successful fundraising campaign. I reached my highest personal fundraising milestone. But we came up a little short on the team side. There is still time to donate before the season is officially closed. Great work everyone. Stay tuned for more updates.

I want to thank everyone for my reaching my original goal of $750 for this year. I raised $900 last year and have raised more than that already this year. I have bumped up my goal to $1,000. Please continue to support this great cause and help me reach my new fundraising goal!

One final push on this giving Tuesday. Save a bro by giving some dough!
The "Kenny Rogers" is looking awesome this year. It will look even more awesome when it is on the floor when I give my wife Lori the clippers to cut it off on Thursday, December 1st. If you want to see that on video, donate to my page and get me over my goal!

I sport this half-mast mo for all the fallen bros and especially for my brother who lost his fight with cancer in 2007. I salute you.
