We are halfway through November, and I thought I would write something personal that sheds light on why I do what I do.
A few months ago, I lost my job. I had worked there for twenty-four years, and while I maintained a calm demeanur when it happened, it felt like the ground had been pulled out from under me.
My 13th year of raising money for Movember is drawing to a close. It has been a challenge, given many things at play in my life – but at the time of this posting, 155 donations have been made (totalling $7,039!) – and I appreciate every single one. Team Zayo Mo’ looks like we will put our Movember 2021 campaign to bed at $7,339.
Even with the roller coaster that has been the pandemic, we still have a lot to be thankful for – I know that I do! A wonderful family, great friends, an awesome place to work, and so many other things – which is why I take the time every year to raise awareness and funding for Movember.
At the end of the summer, while driving down an expressway outside of Toronto and observing the passing information billboards (which showed only announcements regarding COVID-19, instead of the usual traffic information), I recall feeling as if I was in a science fiction film. The world had changed so quickly in such a short amount of time. It blew my mind.
