Movember

I have been very conscious of my mental health for a long time, and it has always been something that I've taken pride in, however I have also noticed how often it's pushed to the side by society, particularly in men. Many men are taught to hide their feelings and continue to move forward, a harmful message that has no doubt contributed to the fact that men are over twice as likely to commit suicide than women (Movember Foundation, 2023). I have not only noticed this pattern of chronic emotional indifference amongst the men that I know, but have noticed it in myself. That's why, in grade 10, I began my fundraising journey facilitated by the Movember Foundation. Since 2017, I am proud to have raised $1675, with plans to grow for the 2023 campaign.

Should anyone want to contribute to this journey that I have undertaken, please follow the link below.
