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

Last year I attempted the Mo Monster: a 10 km swim, 235 km bike and 50 km run. I didn’t finish. On 30 November, I’m going back to give the bastard another crack.

This year it’s bigger than my challenge. I’ve started The Hard Thing Club: a crew of people each taking on something they might fail at, backing each other through it and raising money for Movember. Together, we’re aiming for $50,000 for men’s health.

The challenge will be hard. For a lot of men, saying “I’m struggling” can be harder. I want this effort to raise money, start a few honest conversations and remind people they don’t have to do the hard stuff alone.

If you can, please donate. And if you’ve got a hard thing of your own in mind, come join us.

I knew your parents at KVCC back when you were a baby and toddler. I was so sad to watch your video and hear what happened to you, but also so impressed by your courage and clarity. Well done for what you are doing with it.

Hi Dan,

I’m the Fundraising Manager for Movember New Zealand. I just wanted to say well done for being 2nd on the New Zealand Individual Leaderboard, raising $5600!

I love that your students helped you to get involved with Movember, and that you've done such an incredible job since! Congrats on hitting and passing your target as well!

Please feel free to flick me a email at alex.king@movember.com if there's anything I can help with in these final stages.

Keep up the brilliant work.

United we Mo,
Alex.
