Welcome to November or should I say… Movember! For those of you that have been following me for the last few years know that starting on November 1st I shave all of my facial hair off to raise awareness and funds to support men’s health (specifically the nuttier region!). Last year, I partnered with the Movember team and I’m so excited to be back at it again this year… but we’re upping the ante and aiming to triple our donation from 2020 to $25,000! Plus as a thank you to all of the donors who donate over $49, we will be providing one lucky winner with an awesome thank you gift, keep reading to find out what it is!

Why I decided to partner with Movember
“Did you know that 1 in 9 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime?” Movember. At this point in my life, I personally know two men who have been impacted by prostate cancer, Jill’s dad Glen and a very close friend/mentor who lost his brother to prostate cancer. Did you know that “globally, more than 1.4 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year”? And that “across Canada, there are more than 205,000 men living with [it]”? My hope is that by partnering with Movember we can raise awareness, educate men to help them detect it early, and raise funds to support this initiative!
