A mo and a mullet for Movember men's health month

This Movember, as a Board member at Delta Community Support Trust I'm choosing to grow a moustache to raise funds for our chaplain Dylan and advocate Tristan. Together these men are doing awesome compassionate mahi with middle-aged and older men facing significant challenges in mental, physical, relational and spiritual well-being, men often rejected by and invisible to society.

Over the 20 or so years I've been variously involved in Delta I've seen men come through our doors totally broken, living in pain and hurt and loneliness and suffering. A number of these men have died much younger than they should have with few family and friend connections - but volunteers amd staff at Delta were there for them, showing them (however imperfectly) the peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self control, and ultimately love that they couldn't find and experience in themselves.

Join me in raising awareness that the health of these men does matter too! By improving their lives, we improve the vitality of our whole community! What better purpose for Movember than to promote men helping men helping men to improve their wellbeing, giving them meaning and purpose and respect?

Being a child of the 80s and entering my mid-life (crisis) years, in solidarity with the men Delta works with, if we reach $2,500 in donations, I'll get a mullet haircut, and if we hit $5,000, I'll grow it out all summer long and maybe then some!
