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

Turns out, I’m not made of titanium after all. Since breaking my leg last year (10/10, would not recommend), I’ve realised I’m not invincible—or even particularly bendy. Apparently, the days when I could just let my physical and mental health “sort themselves out” are now a distant memory, waving at me from the rearview mirror (probably while holding an ice pack).

So, this Movember, I’m getting off the couch and into my running shoes. My goal: 60km over the month (or 2km a day). This is a big deal for someone whose recent cardio is as pathetic as mine.

But seriously, as a volunteer firefighter, I know how important it is to look after both your body and your mind—especially when you’re running into burning buildings for fun. Support for mental and physical health in our community is more important than ever.

If you’d like to sponsor me, that would be awesome. Donate whatever you want or can—every bit helps. Thanks for your support (and wish my knees luck)!
