My Story
In 2018 I started participating in Movember for my father who I lost to Cancer aged 47.

In June 2022 I lost my amazing son Lincoln to Suicide aged 21. I now participate in honour of my boy and a number of key men I have lost in my life earlier than I should have.

We need to do more to stop men dying and this is why I Mo.

Globally, 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. Help me stop men dying too young.

Mate, never truer words spoken. We do tend to bury our feelings and far too many men suffer in silence till they can’t take it anymore. We have to talk more and show more compassion to one another. Happy to support you cause. Flea xx

Love this, Shawn. Year after year, you continue to inspire. As a parent and now a proud grandad of one, your message is a powerful reminder that we should always keep talking with our kids, no matter what.

I admire the way you continue to carry the spirit of Movember in honour of your son Lincoln since 2022. Your dedication, strength, and commitment to this cause are truly inspiring. Love your work and the impact you're making.

It makes me pause each year when I see your dirty mo, thinking of how special our boys are and holding them close in our hearts and our embrace. Thank you for the reminder x

Well team we are now into week 2 and slowly making progress on our fund raising at the "Mo's" are looking amazing! Remember we all support a lot if good causes for others so don't be shy asking others to support you in this. The serious side is even more important when did you last see your doctor??? I challenge you all to make an appointment before the end of Movember. I know Dean has and also caught up with mine a couple of months ago. I would love to see some more Yammer action - dont be shy, we can all lead the way on this!!
