I am raising funds for Movember because I want to shine a light on two groups of men who are often overlooked: veterans and those living with ankylosing spondylitis. Both face invisible struggles that can lead to isolation, chronic pain, and a higher risk of suicide. I believe we can change that by starting conversations, improving care, and supporting research that reaches men where they are.

As someone who cares about the men in my life and the men who have served our communities, I know the power of connection. Movember’s work to confront the systems and norms that keep men from seeking help gives hope. By supporting mental health and suicide prevention, and by funding research into conditions that uniquely and disproportionately affect men, we can give veterans and men with chronic conditions a better chance at healthy, long lives.

Every donation helps fund proven programs, community partnerships, and research that make a real difference. Together we can challenge stigma, expand access to support, and create a future where men get the care they need without shame or delay.

Please join me in supporting Movember today. Your gift will help save lives, bring men out of isolation, and ensure veterans and men with ankylosing spondylitis receive the attention and care they deserve.
