29
It's been a while... As I embark on my 29th year of existence, I am reminded of love, friendship and family. As a child, young teen and even early adult, birthdays were always about me. What new, hot, tech toy were my parents going to buy me? How messed up were my friends and I going to get at some party? The past few birthdays have been different. This year was the first year someone outside of myself had to remind me it was my birthday on October 5th. I then had to calculate how old I was going to be at midnight. Things have definitely changed. For the better. I am so appreciative of those around me. Through 29 years, my life has been molded and shaped by those I surround myself with. Personal, professional, family -- all relationships hold a special place in my heart. As October 5th rolls around, I am also reminded of what is to come. November. A month that I take to heart (and face) for men's health. As you all know by now, I am a strong advocate for men's mental health. Through these 29 years it is a cause that hits close to my home as well as the homes I surround myself with. For my birthday this year, little Chad is not asking for a new Xbox or the latest iPhone. I am asking for donations. Anxiety, depression and suicide are majore issues that still affecting millions of men. For some odd reason, in 2016, it is still difficult for men to ask for help. Instead of wishing me a happy birthday this year, I ask you to visit my Movember page and donate $1 towards my $500 2016 goal. Life is a rollercoaster, filled with different ups, downs, loops and many passengers. Join me in helping those in need and heck, grow a moustahce if you can! Donate today and help change the face of men's health!
