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

Hello! I'm raising money this Movember to support the assorted menfolk in our lives! As someone who has struggled with mental health issues, I know what it's like to feel like there aren't the resources or support networks to help you. Men can frequently feel isolated in vulnerable moments related to health.

The money that Movember raises is hugely important in helping men find the support they need, both for mental health, but also in tackling important, difficult to discuss issues like testicular and prostate cancer.

I'm supporting Movember as I want to do my small part to help men across New Zealand get the help they need. It's a tough time, and asking for help with health issues takes a huge amount of courage. Hopefully by supporting these charities I'll be making the lives of some men easier and happier, even in a small way.

Well folks, Movember is trundling to a close and it's been one heck of an adventure! The moustache is probably the least of it, but this face-fuzz companion has been with me through injuries, my tent breaking, and having to travel 300km off trail to pick up a new passport.

Honestly, growing a moustache for a month hasn't been as big a trial as I thought it might be. The real thing that matters though is all the people who have come out to support me and my stupid quest. Each and every one of you is great, and I'm so grateful for every donation and kind word along the way.

Much love, and I'll be closing this out soon, so last donation call!

(3/3) And finally, mentally, I have high and low days on the trail, which I think is expected. The last few days of lurking in Auckland spending far too much money have been a distinct nadir, and I never want to do that again. But there's something greatly empowering about knowing your own abilities and hiking across a country through injuries, inconvenience and sleepless nights plagued by possums. So we shall persist, in optimism and hope!

I'll keep updating this hopefully weekly, with thoughts and feelings on moustaches, hiking and miscellany, but for now it's time to switch off and get ready for the next leg.

Catch you all later!
Jamie

(2/3) As for the walking, DISASTER HAS STRUCK. For anyone following my Instagram, my tent broke on the 4th which properly wrecked my plans, and it was right in the middle of Rugby World Cup season (or something sports related), so the trip to Auckland, buying a new tent, and accommodation here has put me about $1000 in the hole. That's a major dampener on long term plans, but in the short term I've got everything I need to keep on trucking from where I left off! Hooray!

(1/3) Hello friends! So, a week into November I figure it's high time for some kind of blog update, as promised! The first week of Movember has been, as expected, a bit of a mixed blessing.

Firstly, in terms of the moustache, my life choices to try and grow a trucker 'stache haven't been quite as misguided as people may have initially feared! There's definite shape in existence, now I just need to grow more volume. That. May be trickier, there's definitely part of the lower left that has less hair than you'd hope. But we'll figure it out. I've also bought a tiny hand-mirror for on the trail maintenance!
