Our Motivation

Let’s talk about MEN!
.
Ya, you heard us, it’s time to talk and think about all the important MEN in your life, your father, grandfather, brother, son, uncle, husband, boyfriend or friend … Think about how many times they have been there for you, made you smile, bought you the perfect gift or planned the most romantic evening, or just hung out with you. Life wouldn’t be the same without them now would it? Now let’s think about men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Scary thought isn’t it?
.
What if you had the opportunity to help support research and save a life?
.
November is dedicated to men’s health. Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health and this Movember, myself, along with some amazing people, are joining them. Together we can make a difference for men’s health. Help us stop men dying too young. Globally, more than 1.4M men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. Movember is working to halve the number of deaths from prostate cancer by 2030, and we want to help them get there!
.
Why should we get involved? Men are dying WAY before their time. The money we raise will fund groundbreaking health projects across mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. Our motivation as a team for participating in Movember this year is because we have two important men in our life that battled prostate cancer. Nonno Giacomo fought and won his battle against prostate cancer many years ago and has been healthy and in great shape ever since. Unfortunately, we lost Nonno Pops who battled long and hard and put up one heck of a fight. Nonno Pops succumbed to prostate cancer on September 9, 2020.
.
As a fitting tribute to Nonno Pops and all those out there past, present and future who are dealing with prostate cancer we came together as a team to help spread the word, raise a few bucks and have some fun along the way.
.
The men on our team are growing epic moustaches and they will feature their stache progress on their personal social media pages and via the Movember website. Our men will start clean-shaven on November 1st and carefully craft their Mo throughout the month. For some, they will be shaving months or years of a crafted beard. THIS IS HUGE! The ladies have commited to walking 60KM each while one lady will be running those 60km.
.
Movember says, the Mo the Merrier and we totally agree! If you would like to be a part of our team, please feel free to message one of us. We would love to see you grow a patchy, lopsided, itchy or epic Mo - let’s be honest, the Mos you men grow this Movember will all be amazing as they will be raising funds and awareness for men’s health.
.
Let’s MAKE SOME NOISE this MOvember - More moustaches means more conversations, donations and lifesaving awareness.
.
To all of you who are fighting, have fought or have lost your battle to prostate cancer, this is for you!

Found myself particularly MOved on my first run! Letting go of anger and channeling it into positivity. I am doing this for my father & all the men out there.

Day one begins with a clean and fresh start. This year I wisened up and ditched the discount razor for a much better one. Lesson learned that the extra $5 to buy the name brand one is well worth it. Here's to another year of raising money, having some fun and growing a totally interesting mustache.

Here's the real question, who's actually the furry one me or the dog? She definitely rocks the facial hair a bit better than I do there is no question about that!

Another day passed and the more impressive (sure, we'll use the word impressive) the stache is getting. Maybe just maybe it'll become a permanent fixture.

Thanks again for all those who have donated and for everyone who has been following along so far. One week to go!

Now I've been guilty of not posting a daily photo but maybe it was worth the wait?! If you're going to grow a stache for Movember why not go for something exotic? Maybe it's a good thing I have to wear a mask when I go outside now a days!

Happy Weekend Everyone!
This weekend I hosted an event with Movember: MO This way 10km!
I committed to running 10km this weekend and I am so proud to say, that I completed my 10km in ONE SHOT and honestly, what a gorgeous day to do so! Let's keep moving for Movember and growing those beautiful staches!
Thank you for your continued support in Movember.

While everyone waits in anticipation of the results of their moustache growth I just wanted to say the following....No one can grow a moustache like me, my moustache is huge! I have the bigliest moustache there is and we should stop everyone else from growing their own as clearly I win! Don't believe me? Talk to my lawyers!

First time shaving before work, possibly ever!
