This year I am trying to raise $1000 for the Movember fundraiser for mens health. If you don’t know what Movember is, it’s a month long fundraiser that started with men deciding to grow a moustache “mo” for the month of November to bring awareness to mens health.
It’s turned into a movement over the course of the years changing and evolving.
For me this year it’s about bringing awareness to mens mental health particularly around suicide.
To hear about my story and why this year is significant to me and why this cause means a lot to me I’d encourage you to watch the video below.
As an incentive to get y’all to donate to this wonderful cause, I’ve partnered with some amazing friends, businesses and creatives who are donating some amazing things as prize draws to anyone who donates to my fundraising campaign. For each person who donates you’ll be entered into a draw. At the end of November, I will do a random draw to win these amazing prizes.
The donations include the following:
Jeremy Koreski Gallery has donated a 12x18 print called “Eagle Crow” worth $125. Jeremy is a world renowned photographer and artist residing in Tofino, BC.
Anian MFG has donated “The Twill Overshirt” in one of three colourways, Salmon, Cobalt or Himalayan, worth $125. *This prize is subject to availability of size and colourway being available.
