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

It is just over 11 years since my younger Brother Duncan died by suicide after living with Paranoid Schizophrenia for almost 20 years.

Duncan has been my main motivator for MOvember’s focus on men’s mental health and I will continue to share Duncan’s story and be a spokesperson for mental health programs and care.

But this year I want to shift my focus a bit…

I want to look at how we work to ensure men live longer, healthier lives as, on average, men die 5 years younger than our female counterparts- and for reasons that are largely preventable.

I want us to take the reigns on doing the things that will extend our time on the planet.

And so- I will use my platforms and communications to focus on 4 areas identified through research of blue zones where larger portions of residents live significantly longer than other regions… To build our skills.

• Purpose and Wellbeing- or ‘Ikigai’
• Diet
• Move Naturally
• Stress Reduction

It is for this reason I ask you to support my MOvember campaign for men's health and help men live longer, more fulfilling lives.

As a first step- while it is by no means a cure please make every effort to keep open conversation with friends and families.

(Talk. Ask. Listen. Encourage action. Check in. Check in. Check in.)

Another fantastic year of fund raising! Well done Michael.

Movember 30 is almost here—time to finalize those transactions and wrap up the quarterly reports!

Thank you for making such a strategic investment in men’s health this Movember. As we approach the final close of the books, take a moment to assess your assets—every Mo, every event, and every dollar raised has significantly boosted the value of men’s health.

Mark your calendars: the leaderboards will officially close on Tuesday, December 10th, at 5 PM EST. That's when we'll announce the 2024 Champions of the Movember Business Club. Donations can still be made after this deadline, but they won’t factor into the leaderboard standings.

Let’s finish this month strong and optimize the impact on men’s health!

We’re in Week 3 of Movember, and the growth is strong with the Movember Business Club! Whether you’re raising funds, spreading awareness, or getting the whole team involved you’re investing in men’s health and seeing great returns.

Keep scaling up your efforts—every donation, every conversation, is another step toward a healthier future for men everywhere.

Stay on target and keep pushing forward—your company’s support is helping us change the face of men’s health. Let’s keep growing, networking, and Mo’ing our way to success!

Week 2 is here!

The competition is fierce and the 'staches are starting to come in. We're not even at the halfway mark.

Keep up the amazing work.

United We Mo!!

Week 1 of Movember is rounding up!

If you're Growing, we hope you've got some solid stubble making an appearance and those Mos are starting to take shape.

If you're Moving, Hosting, or Mo’ing Your Own Way, keep up the fantastic momentum—you're all doing an incredible job raising both funds and awareness for men's health!

So many teams are absolutely smashing it this year. Take a look at the Mo leaderboard below

Attention Movember Business Club - it's time for liftoff!

The hairiest month of the year is here, and we’re ready to change the face of men’s health.

Whether you’re Growing, Moving, Hosting, or Mo’ing Your Own Way – we salute you! Every whisker grown, step taken, event hosted, or bold dare accepted helps Movember raise critical funds and awareness for men’s health.

Teams are already rising up the leaderboard for a shot at gold. Who will take it home this year?
