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

Suicide has been a far too frequent punctuation mark through my life. I'm starting to lose count...

When I was young, one of my uncles took his own life. In high school, a fellow student's older brother ended his life. Early 2000s I came across a young man that had hung himself from a foot bridge above a road in my hometown. 2020 a friend in a gaming community took his own life. In the last few years, three of my friends have each lost a brother to suicide.

In 2023, we lost a member if the pinball community in Melbourne.

There's been other accidental deaths that were possibly linked to mental health issues: a few years back a friend aspirated on vomit from being too drunk and a few years before that another died from a drug overdose...

The commonality among all of these? They were all men. In the same period, to the best of my knowledge, none of my female friends have ended their own lives.

Globally, the rate of suicide is alarmingly high, particularly in men. Too many men are ‘toughing it out’, keeping their feelings to themselves and struggling in silence. The Movember Foundation is aiming to reduce the rate of male suicide by 25% by 2030, and I want to help them get there. Help me stop men dying too young.

Hey Andrew! I thought I’d drop by to say a big hairy thanks for flying the flag for men’s health (again) this year. 8 years of support is just incredible
You’re smashing your fundraising all in the name of a bloody important cause – to help men live happier, healthier and longer lives. There’s still plenty of fun to be had this Hairy Season so keep it up legend.
United we will help prevent other men taking their lives. Thanks and Mo On!

For the Full D'Artagnan

126 Week(s) Ago

There was a huge flurry of votes late in the semi-finals, with the deepest pockets significantly affecting the outcome. Sadly, the D'artagnan, whilst the leader in the straight votes, was knocked out be The Double Decka Burger due to superior campaigning by their supporters.

The other semi-final was almost a complete whitewash with Questions Must Be Asked fielding the vast majority of the votes, once again proving that evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.

Day 30: The finals result is here for all to see (and Hannah can't wait for it to go tomorrow).

I've managed my distance total of 60km over the month and $1741 is already an amazing result but I'm still a few dollars short of my fundraising target of $2000.

Thanks again for your all your support!

This Movember I'll be both growing something disgusing for your amusement and trying to up my jogging to 60km over the month of Movember. Here's the twist: you can help decide what horrible things happen to my face fuzz. I'll be putting up a voting bracket in the next couple of days where 16 styles will go head to head, single elimation bracket style till only one style stands alone.

Here's last year's contenders, each of these is a few days growth as a preview to the finished style:
