My motivation

Fundraising for cause areas including:

Mental health and suicide prevention

This is very personal and very important to me. I first thought about suicide when I was in grade school. And suicidal ideation followed me until I went to treatment for alcoholism and drug addiction at 29, and subsequently went to therapy to finally deal with the sexual abuse from my childhood. Men do not talk about trauma, about their mental health, about their suicidal thoughts enough, openly, or freely. The social stigma that causes this silence nearly killed me. I was lucky. But many are not.

The United States' Mountain West region contains eight of the top ten states with the highest suicide rates in our country. The suicide rate in the Rocky Mountains is nearly three times the national per capita average, earning the Rockies the nickname, “The Suicide Belt.”

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. Movember 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.

We don't talk about this enough and we need to crush the stigma that shrouds mental health. It's my hope that you'll join me in spreading the word and talking about suicide, and, if you're able, donate some bucks to help crush the stigma and get folks the help they need.
