My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Mental health and suicide prevention
Men's health
Prostate cancer
Testicular cancer

The Movember Foundation is the only global charity focused solely on men's health, so this Movember I'm getting on board again! For my 16th year, I'm raising funds by growing a Mo, moving 60 miles and hosting a Mo-ment to tackle some of the biggest health issues faced by men: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Help me stop men dying too young.

Movember Day 10: WELCOME TO MOVEMBER

10 days in and 41% to my goal of $6,000. Currently sitting at $2,469 raised! But for the sake of fundraising, let’s act like I’m in a BLANK SPACE and keep to MOmentum going!

It’s not normally my STYLE to post selfie’s daily, but if we want to get OUT OF THE WOODS on testicular cancer, prostate cancer, mental health and suicide prevention, ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS STAY and donate. For the remaining 20 days, you’re just going to have to SHAKE IT OFF.

But seriously, I WISH YOU WOULD know that none of this is possible with out all y’all! Big thank yous to my cool sister Katie Murphy (Erin & Em, there’s no BAD BLOOD for not donating yet), Michael Clark, my incredible wife Murphy, my awesome in-laws Sandy & Dan Waldrop, Mike Zinni and Ian Schechter! Never in my WILDEST DREAMS could I imagine a better support system! Love you guys!

Alright, I’ve run out of ways to work in Taylor Swift song titles into my post. Be like Taylor and donate!

Movember Day 9: DOUBLE THE MO, DOUBLE THE IMPACT!

Nine days in, and this moustache is aging like a fine bourbon. Whether it’s getting better with age is still up for debate.

But here’s something that’s NOT up for debate…

DIXON IS DOUBLING DOWN ON THE MO!

Starting TODAY, November 9, through November 13, Dixon is matching donations dollar-for-dollar, up to $500 toward my Movember fundraising efforts!

That means your $100 donation could turn into $200 for men’s health. Pretty sweet deal, right?!

And before we go any further, I’ve gotta give some BIG THANK YOUs to Julie Theibert, Phyllis Nornhold, Cindle Taylor, Joyce Sanchez and my fellow Mo Bro, Matthew Keyes for supporting this hairy journey! Y’all are helping make a real difference, and I appreciate every one of you!

We’re nine days into Year 16, and I’m still chasing that $6,000 goal. Let’s make these next few days count!

P.S. it’s brighter than hell outside. Sorry for the squints.

Movember Day 7: 16 Years. More Reasons Than Ever.

In 2010, I grew a moustache for Movember and raised $100. What started as a fun challenge became a cause that’s deeply personal.

I’ve lost people to suicide, watched friends and family face their own mental health struggles and have watched loved ones battle cancer. Hell, I faced my own mental health challenges during the pandemic.

Now, 16 years later, I’m about to become a dad. And being healthy, present, and around for the people I love means more than ever.

I want to give some big THANK YOUs to Hannah Melillo, Claudia Niezgoda and Jack Mazurak for supporting me on this hairy journey! Y’all are the real MVPs of this movement!

This is Year 16. My goal is $6,000 goal. Let’s do this.

Movember Day 4: A THIEF WITH A MO!

They say there’s no honor among thieves. But apparently there’s plenty of room for a moustache.

16 years of Movember, and this year’s Mo is officially on the clock at Whiskey Thief Distilling Co!

Proud to work alongside an incredible team that believes in looking out for one another, both on and off the clock.

Because men’s health matters. To our coworkers, our customers, our friends, and our families.

This is Year 16. The goal is $6,000. Let’s keep the Mo-mentum going! Shout out to fellow Whiskey Thief Keith Atwood for his support and donation today! Appreciate it, brother!

Movember Day 3: If you’re going to do ONE impactful thing today, GO VOTE!

But if you’re going to do TWO impactful things today, make the second one be a donation to this moustache!

Did you know testicular cancer strikes young? It’s the most common cancer in young American men. At greater than 95%, the odds of survival for men with testicular cancer are better than good – but for some men, long-term treatment-related side effects mean quality of life is severely compromised.

Did you know that 1 in 8 men in the US will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime? Across the country, there are almost 3.25 million men living with and beyond the disease. Many are dealing with serious side effects from treatment.

Did you know that in the US, the rate of male suicide is alarmingly high? Approximately 4 in 5 suicides are men.

These could be your fathers, your grandfathers, your brothers, your sons, your friends, your neighbors, your husbands, your partners. Let’s keep them from dying to young!

Movember Day 2: The Mo Goes On!

Two days in, and the moustache is already getting more attention than it deserves.

28 days of questionable facial hair decisions and 56 miles to go!

All jokes aside, we’re growing Mo’s, moving miles, and raising money for men’s health.

Huge shoutout to Bryan Harrold for today’s donation! Appreciate you, brother!

Year 16. $6,000 goal. Let’s keep this Mo-mentum going!

Movember Day 1: YEAR 16 IS A GO!

Mo big or go home! I’m Mo’ing big, letting this moustache ride for the next 30 days while I move 2 miles a day over the next 30 days!

Y’all know the drill, but if you’re new here, I’ve been a Mo Bro for the last 15 years, and grow a moustache to raise money for the Movember Foundation.

No matter the size of your donation or the level of your support, together we can change the face of men’s health by funding critical research and initiatives focused on testicular cancer, prostate cancer, mental health and suicide prevention.

#Movember Day 6: What does it take to make you people join in?

3 years ago I hit my goal of $3k and got a tattoo of a moustache to commemorate it the following year. This year I hit the ground running, but now it’s slowed down a bit. Do I need to get Mo Bro tattooed across my ass?

Do I need to start calling people out by name? Don’t make me cyber bully you!

Let’s get to getting and keep men from dying too young! Hit me with a donation. Whether it’s $5 or $500, every little bit helps!

Movember Day 5: IT’S ELECTION DAY! And guess what? I VOTED… to grow this bushy ass MOUSTACHE!

Whether you’re voting Democrat or Republican, get out there and make your voice heard! And once you’re done with that, it’s time to open your wallets one more time and throw me a donation.

Movember Day 4: FUN FACT! It’s not just about growing a ridiculous ‘stache this month, it’s also about moving!

This Movember I’ll be moving 60 miles for the 60 men we lose each hour, every hour, to cancer and suicide - the men who should still be here today! Just got 5 miles locked in this afternoon!

You don’t have to be an ultra-athlete to get involved, just put one foot in front of the other! Feel free to join me or if you’re more comfortable from the sidelines, feel free to support me!

Let’s get moving and save some lives!

Also, big THANK YOU to Claudia Niezgoda for her support and generosity! Almost a sixth of the way to my goal!

Together, we did it! $5,001.52 raised against a goal of $5,000! HELL YEAH! And not only that, I knocked out 60 miles between walking, running and cycling this month! That’s 60 miles for the 60 men suicide takes globally every hour! That’s for my grandfather, that’s for Dan, that’s for anyone who lost their battle with mental health.

I want to give big THANK YOU’s to Scott Murphy, Brett Halleman, Walter Zausch, Teresa Hernandez and Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. for their extremely generous donations and support! Without you and everyone else, this wouldn’t have been possible! Y’all are the real heroes and MVPs of this movement! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
