Mental health is a cause that's incredibly close to my heart. In my 20s, I struggled with my mental health and experienced suicidal thoughts. I didn't tell anyone at the time because I didn't want to worry my family.

And this is something I've never spoken publicly about before. Thankfully, I'm now in a great place, and I'm genuinely happy to be able to talk about it openly.

Over the years, I've come to believe that many men struggle with identity, purpose and self-worth, and too often we suffer in silence (I know I did).

As men, we often attach part of our identity to how we look. Whether it's a beard, a moustache, a hairstyle or simply how we present ourselves to the world, it can become part of who we are and how we feel about ourselves. Sometimes losing or changing that can be surprisingly confronting, which is why I think conversations around identity and mental health matter so much.

That's one of the reasons I want to support Movember and the incredible work they do for men's mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer.

Movember funds programmes focused on mental health and suicide prevention, as well as prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

I've decided to make this challenge personal.

I'll be growing a Movember moustache throughout November, and as soon as I reach my fundraising target of £200, I'll shave my head down to a Number 2 all over and film it for shits and giggles.

If I get to £500, I'll let the highest contributor choose my moustache style for the entire month.

Cancer has also affected me and my family this year, making this cause feel even more important.

If my moustache can raise a few pounds, and my haircut can start a few conversations about identity, mental health and asking for help when we need it, then it'll be worth every bit of it.

Thank you for your support.
