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

I have lived with a condition called Dysthymia (persistent depressive disorder) for more than 25 years and came close to taking my own life because I felt I was alone, unable to talk and not a proper man. Men make up 3/4 of all suicides and 1 man dies every minute globally with 12 men every day in UK taking their own life

Movember focuses on men's health, raising the profile of men's health and making men more aware of what we need to look out for!

Thanks for helping me to support their vital work in saving men’s lives
