In November of last year I was going through what was, thankfully, successful cancer treatment. It was one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced, both physically and mentally.

This year, now I’ve been lucky that things are sorted, I’d like to give something back.

Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men’s health. They know what works for men – and what doesn’t. Prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention – they’re taking them all on.

Since 2003, Movember has funded more than 1,250 men’s health projects around the world, challenging the status quo, and shaking up men’s health research.

Most people grow a moustache for Movember. It’s pretty likely that, were I to grow a moustache, it wouldn’t help my marriage or, as an ironic consequence, my mental health. Annette doesn’t like a ‘tache. If I’m being honest, neither do I.

So, instead of facial hair growth and Movember, I’m going to be doing Coachember.

Originally on this page, my aim was to coach 90 men, for 60 minutes each, in the 30 days of November.

Then Donald Trump won the US election and I was pissed off and annoyed. Rather than just staying pissed off and annoyed, I felt I could and should do something to make my challenge more inclusive.

So, I’ve chosen another charity, Wellbeing of Women, which had a similar focus to Movember and am opening up the invitation of a coaching session for a contribution to charity to women too and extending the challenge through December as well.

To take part, all you need to do is book a session using the link below and make a donation of £3, £30 or, if you're feeling really generous, £300 to the charity. On this page, you can donate to Movember. Alternatively you can click HERE to go to the page to donate to Wellbeing of Women.

This will mean that the charity make some money to carry on with their great work and the men will get to have a coaching conversation which could very well help their mental health.

It’s a win-win!

If you don’t have time for a coaching conversation, don’t want to have a coaching conversation or you’re not a man, but you do want to donate to the charity, then you can also do that on this page.

Here’s the link to book a Coachember session:

Happy donating.
