Send us a textWill Castle is a real estate professional who also works as a volunteer Community Ambassador for the men’s health charity Movember. After losing his father to suicide over 12 years ago, Will brushed his feelings under the carpet and kept his story extremely private. Most of his colleagues weren’t aware of what he went through and it was never spoken about amongst his friends. Ten years later, when COVID hit, Will wanted to do something positive and without understanding the potential impact he could make, started to talk about his experiences with the aim of raising money for Movember. Later that month, he published a first-hand account of the day itself and raised over £16,000 and was in the top 5 Movember fundraisers in the country. He now works part time for the charity as a Community Ambassador travelling up and down the country to share his story with the aim of breaking mental health taboos, raising suicide awareness and of course raising much needed funds in the name of men’s health. To date Will has raised over £24,000. Outside of his charity work, Will is a husband and a father of two boys. He loves spending time with his family and going to watch his beloved Arsenal Football Club.To find out more about Will, Movember, his story and to get in touch:Will’s LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/will-castle-3172b82a/ Will’s Story: A first-hand account of the harrowing events of 17th November 2010: www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-story-17th-november-2010-will-castle/Polo Times: A tribute to Paul Castle written by John Horswell: www.linkedin.com/pulse/movember-update-day-6-will-castle/Paul Castle Tribute (The Times): www.linkedin.com/pulse/movember-update-day-5-will-castle/ Movember Website: www.movember.com(Michael Hanson is the host of the COSMIC Bridge podcast that inspires its listeners to find their higher purpose and connect their material and spiritual life through stories of breathwork teachers, shamans and stroke survivors.
