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

This is my fourteenth year of being involved with Movember and unfortunately a few years ago I truly learnt what it meant to lose someone to suicide having lost my younger brother Ian and a great friend Austin.

Ian passed in April 2017 and Austin the following year in October 2018. When someone leaves you in this way, you are left with only questions, lost opportunities and only memories no longer able to build new ones.

Make sure that you tell the people in your lives that you love and care for them, you never know when it will be the last time you have that opportunity.



My brother Ian was just 39. At the time leaving behind his wife and three children ranging from 1 to 11.

Great Memory – Ian and I were cricket mad as kids and liked to think we could be the next Lance Cairns. We used to make our own cricket bats and wickets out of whatever fence we could find that people weren’t using / watching at the time.



My great mate Austin was just 38. At the time leaving behind his wife and two children ranging from 4 to 8.

Great Memory – Going on holiday with Austin’s wife and kids in February of this year, taking all the kids swimming to give the mums a break from the kids (and me) and encouraging Austin kids to practice their diving into the pool. Doing this 3-4 times a day and having a fantastic time.

In the twelve months to the end of June 2023 we have lost another 565 people to suicide in NZ.

Of the 565 suicides over 411 were men. The continued work that has been done on removing the stigma about asking for help is great, but we have more to do to ensure anyone that is at risk is able to get the professional help they need.
