In early August, my father, Dave, passed away suddenly from a heart attack. I cannot begin to articulate the unbearable sadness and shock this has brought to my family. 

My Dad loved the outdoors, spending so much of his younger years rock climbing and hiking around the Peak District, when he wasn't watching Manchester Utd at the pub! To celebrate and honour him on my birthday this November 19th, I will be running a half marathon to raise money for men's health with Movember UK. 

Please support me by donating, and just looking at the many resources Movember offers like tackling important conversations with those we love.

Our fathers, partners, brothers and friends are facing a health crisis, yet it's rarely talked about. Men are dying too young. We can't afford to stay silent. Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health. We know what works for men - and what doesn't. Prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention - we're taking them all on! Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1250 men's health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, and shaking up men's health research.
