MOVEMBER. MOHAMMARA.
2020 has been tough on everyone. Personally, dealing with furlough and redundancy has been tough mentally and I’ve struggled with my mental health, like pretty much everyone in some way at the moment! This second lockdown is definitely not going to help, but will hopefully save lives if not much else.
In England, around 1 in 8 men have a common mental health problem and of course this year has exacerbated those problems in many. Just over three out of four su***des (76%) are by men and su***de is the biggest cause of death for men under 35. Taking part in this year has felt more important to me than ever, so I’m fundraising to help bring awareness to mental health and su***de prevention.
Normally I just grow a mo’, but this year I wanted to do something MO’! After alighting the (street food) gravy train thanks to covid-19, I’m setting up my own business specialising in eastern Meditarrean foods, starting with Muhammara; a spicy red pepper dip famous hailing from Aleppo and beloved on any mezze spread. For an initial trial and pilot, it will however be MOhammara (see what I did there). You just can’t escape street food puns.
As part of some product tasting and fundraising before hitting the big time next year, please help the cause by doing the following:
- Donate to Movember £10 or more (link in bio!) (UK donators only)
- Send me your address via IG, whatsapp, facebook, carrier pigeon or [email protected]
- I’ll send you a jar in the post and it’s yours to enjoy!
Funding for mental health services is crucial to helping people combat mental health issues and su***de so I'm hoping that my mo' can help the cause! 📸
