Our Motivation

"Kia Ora" as dad would say when he picked up the phone.

We are Sam and Angus Crampton, proud sons of Philip Crampton

Movember means more to our family than most, as 15 months ago we lost Dad to Depression.

Mental health challenges don't discriminate and can appear out of nowhere. We never thought this would happen to our family and most wouldn't. That's not to say that any family deserves such a tragedy, we just want to reinforce how quickly things can change with the people you love.

Dad was happily retired, soon to be a grandfather for the 2nd and 3rd time, had built his dream retirement home, had a supportive family, a large friend group, and a range of hobbies, passions, and goals to see out the rest of his days.

On top of this, he was the happiest and most positive person we knew with a true zest for life and a range of quotes like "nobody ruins my day" and "a hug a day keeps the trouble away"

NZ has a mental health crisis and we've seen first-hand how under supported and resourced mental health is in our country.
Dad wasn't suffering in silence, he was begging for help, but as we've found out, you have to make an attempt to take your life to receive clinical support and even then, the support isn't long term.

He passed away the day after the people who were supposed to be treating and caring for him, deemed him stable enough to continue his recovery at home, something our family disagreed with.

This November to honour dad and the other 616 people we lost to suicide in NZ last year, we are going to grow a mo and commit to 617 minutes a week each of outdoor exercise, running, walking, golfing, cricket and more. That equates to 88 mins a day each, 4936 mins or 82.5 hours combined for the month.
Outdoor exercise has really helped us through our ongoing grieving process and has both physical and mental health benefits for everyone.

Our goal is to raise $6,170, $10 for each life lost, all going to the great Movember cause.

If you are able to contribute to this great cause, please do, and thank you for your support.

If not, that's fine too.
Instead, we'd ask that you reach out to a family member, friend, colleague, or just anyone in your life to check in with them to see how they are (really) going.

Invite them for a meal, go for a walk, have a beer, watch some sport, go to a movie or concert, laugh about old times, all things we wish we could still do with Father Kunz.

Many thanks, Sam & Angus

If I was rich, I’d give $1 million to this cause! Having lost a loved one to suicide myself, I know how heartbreaking and complicated that grief is. I admire the incredible work you’re doing guys!

Condolences during this difficult time. Spreading the word like you are doing will result in lives saved. Much love from a multiple-episode survivor and advocate for men's mental health. Depression is truly unspeakably awful and confusing.

Sending so much love to you both and to your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing your Dad’s story with such honesty and courage. My heart breaks thinking of what you’ve all been through, and I have no doubt he would be so incredibly proud of the strength, love, and purpose you’re pouring into honouring him.

Thank you for turning your pain into something that will help so many others.

Cheering you on every step of the way.

Hi Sam and Angus. I was really shocked and saddened to hear of Phils death. Sadly I didn't hear until four weeks after he passed and it came not long after two others I knew also took their lives. Phil was an awesome man who meant alot to me and other members of my family. If you ever want to meet or chat about Phil please call me on 027 220 6290.

best wishes
