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

This all started out for just a laugh. I heard about some NHL'ers growing mustaches, and I presumed it was a dressing room bonding thing.

A couple years later, I learned about Movember, and what they were trying to do for Men's Health.

A couple years later, I was diagnosed with Testicular Cancer. I was very lucky with my diagnosis, surgery, recovery, and surveillance. I was even luckier with the support I received from my community and my work with Movember was injected with an enthusiasm I was not aware I possessed.

A couple years later, my passion waned, and I lost my focus.

A couple years later, I was diagnosed with depression and struggled with suicidal ideation. Instead of making an attempt, I confessed my struggles to my wife, who then started the process of getting me the help I needed.

I am not out of this struggle yet, as I continue to battle, but I am optimistic and encouraged.

I hope to be able to provide the same support and encouragement to others as I work to improve the mental health support system in my community.

Amazing work everyone!!! We got over $100k!

But don’t stop yet, donations still count until 2 pm PST on December 9th so we can get this train a little further down the track!

Great work so far everyone! We've got 17 folks over $1k and more knocking on the door! And the move total, YES!

Get out over the next few days and let's get to our Move goal. Have a conversation with family about health history. Check in on a friend that you haven't talked to in a while.

And...encourage folks to donate before the holiday shopping empties their wallets. It's always more fun knowing you supported a great cause BEFORE you blow your holiday budget vs. after...

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.
