Candid Conversations Pick - My Movmember Page

Movember is upon us.  The annual event to support Men's health and cancer prevention specifically prostate cancer is off and running.  Besides the physical there is the mental health aspect as well. The prevention of suicide amongst men is important.

I was asked to jump into the Movember band wagon by a colleague at work who has been touched by cancer, he has been cancer free for 10 years.  I also have a brother in law who has been touched by cancer as well.  In fact a number of my family have been.  My grandmother namely, was felled by cancer in the 80s.  What got me into this though was the mental health aspect.  Men generally like to think they are tough and can handle things on their own.  Which can lead to some bad outcomes re mental health.  

Back in the 90s I was foolish got involved with a lady I should never have gone near and it took me a long time to get mentally well again.  About 2 to 5 years.  This included engaging with a mental health professional to get sorted out.  That was after nearly jumping in front of  a train.  So yes it's important to support causes like Movember.  This year I joined and am for Movember I am setting a goal of 200 dollars.  I would love it if readers would drop into the site and drop some coin into the donation box so to speak.  

So with that click over to my Movember Page and thanks in advance for the support.
