Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing a health crisis, yet it’s rarely talked about. Men are dying too young. We cant afford to stay silent. Movember are the leading charity changing the face of mens health. A growing number of men around 10.8M globally are facing life with a prostate cancer diagnosis. Globally, testicular cancer is the most common cancer among young men. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides.Donate and help support vital programs supporting men affected by these issues.

I started running about 4 years ago and recently completed The Great South Run which was a 10 mile event. My next milestone distance to tackle is a half marathon and I am keen to raise money for charity.. I chose Movember as a charity to support for a number of reasons, they do really important work for men’s mental health and testicular cancer. This is pertinent to me as my Grandad died of testicular cancer in his 30s leaving my Granny raising my mum and aunt at 7 years and 10 months old respectively. I obviously never got to meet my grandad but know we would’ve been close.
