My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Prostate cancer

My Father was diagnosed with Prostate cancer in 2006, and I started participating in Movember not long after. Initially, it was a fun way to pay tribute to the man that always sported a mustache while raising me to be the man I've become today. As his battle waged on, I got more serious about raising money each year. My Dad refused to stop fighting, and pursued a number of treatments made possible through research supported by donations to the Movember foundation. His battle has come to an end after 16 years, but I will continue to participate in Movember and raise money for cancer research as a way to honor his life.

Make those last reaches for donations everyone! (Insider tip...formal closure of this years campaign is December 11th, so you've got time to eek those last donations out!)

And MOVE!!! We are in striking distance of hitting our move goal for the year, I'm heading out for a quick 2 mile walk after dinner to add to the total!

Love seeing the list of Platinum Club members growing at that $1k raised mark! Great work everyone!

Take a bit of time to talk health history with family during this opportune time of year. Get out and move a bit after the turkey coma clears. Hit up your network for a last donation push after they get through (or do it before!) Black Friday shopping.

Way to keep it coming in Seattle Challenge! Just collectively pushed the $150k mark to the rear view mirror! Where will we sit when the dust settles? Let's shoot for $175k as a group.

Remember - leader board closes on December 8th at 2 PM PST, so rally those last folks in your network to dig in their pockets for change and get it on your tally for 2022!

Great work Seattle! A tip of the cap to all of you amazing folks for all you do for Movember!

Please consider joining me, your friendly Seattle Ambassador, as I give a slideshow presentation about Movember's Inagural Adventure team's Kilimanjaro climb from March this year. I'll be talking about the training, the climb and the experience in an interactive manner.

Sunday, December 4th at Stoup Brewing in Ballard. 7 pm start in their upstairs space. I'll have some Movember swag you might walk home with. And, might buy a few beers as an end of the campaign thank you for all your hard work.

Here we MO!

Blasted by $100k, great work everyone! There's 200+ people in our challenge, if everyone walks 2 miles tomorrow we can get over 2000 miles on our move challenge. I'm going out and doing mine now!

You should all be super proud of yourselves! Over $100k again, a great job by all of you out there!
