    Movember 2019

    This Movember I’ve committed my upper lip to help change the face of men’s health.

    I’m growing my moustache for 30 days, and I need your support: https://mobro.co/andrewbeaven?mc=5

    I’m supporting the Movember Foundation because around the world, 510,000 men die from suicide each year. That’s one every minute. The Movember Foundation is funding research and services to help men and boys stay mentally healthy.

    There are two ways you can contribute to my Mo growing effort:
    Donate online at https://mobro.co/andrewbeaven?mc=5

    Or, write a cheque to ‘Movember’ referencing my registration ID (2840861) and mail it to: Movember Europe, PO Box 485, Wilstead, Bedford, MK45 3XN

    Learn about the important work Movember is funding and the impact your donation will have: https://uk.movember.com/programs/cause?mc=5

    Together we can change the way the world looks at mental health.

  • Bowling meditation

    • How my legs & feet are moving as I approach the wicket;
    • where back- and front-foot land, and the sensations from the floor;
    • tension between index & middle fingers, spread around the seam;
    • how the bowling arm unfurls from the gather and swings down, then up again, over-the-top or slightly round-arm;
    • the feel of the ball as it is released…

    And repeat.

    My summer in tickets — 6 games I saw, and one that I missed.

    I have managed to watch quite a bit of top flight cricket this summer, including several matches that featured “firsts”.

    Although, in a season of “firsts”, I did miss a “last”.
