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

Two men’s health areas of focus that the Movember Foundation hopes to raise awareness for are mental health & suicide prevention and prostate cancer, both of which mean a lot to me personally, particularly over the last few years. Around the world, the rate of suicide is alarmingly high, particularly in men. Too many men are ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence. I’ve learned myself that that’s not the best way to get through tough times and mental health struggles. Additionally, 1 in every 8 men is diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, including both my Dad and Grandpa (both whooped its ass fortunately), and that rate is growing. The Movember Foundation is aiming to reduce the rate of male suicide and help fund research and projects for preventing and treating prostate and testicular cancer, and I’m blessed to be able to to help them make those goals happen!

I’m running the Chicago marathon for Team Movember because I really want to challenge myself to seek more discomfort this year. Last April when I first started running consistently I couldn’t run a full mile without stopping. I ended up running my first half marathon in December, and now I’ve committed to running 26.2 in October. I want to continue to prove to myself that I can push past any self imposed limits and set hard goals that intimidate me. I’m excited for this challenge ahead of me and I’m grateful to represent the Movember Foundation and hopefully spark some meaningful conversations over the next 9 months and beyond. This goal is big, but it’s something that I know I can accomplish and I’m eager to prove myself right.
