Movember at Bell - Bradley's Story
When I started at Bell as a summer student while attending Wilfrid Laurier University, I never imagined it would turn into the career it has. I’ve now been with Bell for 25 years and have spent time as a Field Tech, an Implementation Manager and Network Manager with NPP, a Network Specialist with the FFTx Infrastructure team, and I am currently with the Greenfield New Construction Partnerships team.
Over my time at Bell, I have seen cancer and mental health affect many of my colleagues and friends. In 2009, a group of nine Bell team members joined Movember with the “Moustaches Just Got Better” team. We were able to raise just over $4,000 that first year through donations along with raffles, pot lucks and 50/50 draws. In 2010, we lost one of our Movember teammates, Bell team member Richard Armstrong, to brain cancer and we renamed our team that year to our current name “Team MoStrong”. As a team, we have raised over $102,000 since 2009 for this great cause that focuses on men’s physical and mental health with our biggest year being 2022 when we brought in $18,731!
We have team members from Bell that work all over the country, but I know there are others within the company that take part in this great event every year. It would be great to combine all our Mo Brothers and Sisters for 2023 and make this year the best one yet!
