My motivation
Fundraising for cause areas including:
Men's health

In the last 12 I’ve helped raise over $46,000 for the Movember Foundation: it is the only global charity focused solely on men's health. I’ve lost mates to suicide; cancer and had my own heart attack at 36.

With mens health: every dollar helps: lots of little bit’s - help a lot just like talking and sharing does.

As in previous years I pledge reciprocity. Whatever a fellow MoBro donates to me - I’ll match to them.

Together, we can achieve so much more than we can as individuals.

Please give generously: The Movember Foundation will receive it thankfully and apply it faithfully.

Thanks for going the extra mile, Leon. I had prostate cancer in 2021 and have been clear since my prostatectomy, but it's a scary thing when you get the C-word. Best, Darl

Well it’s half way through Movember. And I had to shave. Not the Mo! But for my annual stress test ECG!! Now I have an itchy face and an itchy chest.

There are a few stats to share too: I am just short of a life time $50,000 for Movember; at half way I am at 56% of this years goal.

We are better together: so please help me on the fund raising journey for men’s health!!

I’ve had friends and family die from cancer; other friends through suicide. Men’s health is a real issue. Movember is one way of addressing that. Let’s grow together.

Hi Leon,

I’m the Fundraising Manager for Movember New Zealand. I just wanted to say well done for being in the top 10 on the New Zealand Individual Leaderboard, raising $3600!

Thank you so much for so many years of supporting Movember, for raising such an incredible total of over $20,000 and for sharing your personal motivation for getting involved. You're clearly smashing it Leon and I'm sure you'll keep it coming!

Feel free to email me at alex.king@movember.com if there's anything I can help with regarding any final donations before the Leaderboard closes on 9 December.

United we Mo,
Alex.

I am preparing the ground carefully, by sipping a Margarita. The salt should help a fertile growth of hair!!!

Note: As donations can be made privately, not all donations are displayed to the public.
