This Movember, I’ll be growing perhaps the world’s worst moustache to raise awareness and funds for men’s health, a cause that is deeply personal to me. Throughout my adult life, I have battled depression and suicidal thoughts and these experiences have shown me firsthand the importance of mental health support and the devastating impact of silence and stigma.
Tragically, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 69% of all suicides worldwide.
However, this isn’t just about men’s health; it’s about creating a society where everyone can seek help without fear of judgment. By addressing men’s health, we are also challenging the patriarchal norms that dictate how men should behave and feel. By supporting Movember, you’re not only helping men but also contributing to a more compassionate and understanding world as well as assisting efforts to dismantle the toxic masculinity that harms everyone.
Please join me in this cause. Your donation can make a significant difference in someone’s life.
