My motivation

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. Help me stop men dying too young.

I'm John McPherson, I'm 60, and I grew up never talking about feelings, struggles, or depression. We just didn't. It took me a long time to learn that silence doesn't make things go away.

This November I'm growing a mo for Movember to raise money for men's health, including mental health. Every dollar goes to the Movember Foundation, which funds men's mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer programs.

I'll post my progress here all month, and it won't be pretty. If it gets one man to ask another "How are you, really?", it's worth it.

Please sponsor me.....

If you're struggling, please talk to someone.

US: Call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), free, 24/7.

UK: Call Samaritans free on 116 123, 24/7. In England, Scotland and Wales, you can also call 111 and choose the mental health option. In Northern Ireland, call the Lifeline on 0808 808 8000.
