Movember Saves Lives


Movember Saves Lives

Since 2015, I’ve been raising money and awareness for Movember, a movement dedicated to helping men live happier, healthier, and longer lives. My passion for this cause stems from my own health battles—stroke, hypertension, and heart disease—as well as the devastating loss of friends and family members to cancer. I participate in Movember to encourage men to take control of their health, both physically and mentally.

My Friend Died from Colon Cancer

My friend James died of colon cancer a few months after his 43rd birthday. He lived a good life and fought a good fight. I think about him every day. I can still hear his laugh. Listening to Run-DMC brings back vivid memories of our school days. Old photos remind me of the good times we had together.

The Barbershop Can Save Your Life

The barbershop is a special place. You can get a shave and a haircut and make friends, watch the game, and participate in lively discussions on politics, sports, popular culture, and relationships. During one visit to the barbershop, I discovered that it could be much more than a social hub. It can be life-saving.
