My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Mental health and suicide prevention

It is estimated that up to 135 people on average are affected by the loss of someone to suicide. It makes nearly all of us a part of a group we don't want to be a member of, yet we still have trouble talking about it.

I've lost loved ones to suicide, including my dad, a mental health professional who dedicated his life to relieve the emotional pain of others. Despite having the knowledge and resources, he still wasn't able to ask for or accept help when he really needed it.

Societal norms pressure men to be self sufficient, leaving them to grapple silently with their emotions. These unspoken, restrictive rules about 'how to be a man' are not only unrealistic, but an unhealthy and dangerous standard that is contributing to the nearly 35,000 men we lose annually to suicide. We're here to change the narrative - to promote more healthy models of masculinities so that men can show up as their authentic selves, to build in the supports around men, and influence health systems to better serve their needs.

It's not an easy challenge. It requires us to ditch the 'one size fits all' mentality and instead, listen to men's own lived experience and use learnings to develop programs that meet them where they are at and in a way that feels authentic to them. In doing so, Movember has helped to improve and save lives - https://shorturl.at/mzDW6.

We're thinking big for this next chapter, but change can't occur without YOUR support. As a result, I will be taking on the ultimate challenge of hiking Africa's highest peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro, in March (gulp) to bring awareness and critical funding to Movember's mental health programming. I'll bring you along for the journey (and the leg cramps & sore feet). In the meantime, please help by donating ANY AMOUNT or BY creating your own page to support our efforts. GRATEFUL for your support.

Don't take my word for it. Check out the work that has been funded this year - https://shorturl.at/nyG28

Thank you!
