Bowel Cancer Awareness Month December 2017

By
Bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK, with most people being diagnosed over the age of 60. However it shouldn’t be. It’s treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early.
This December, Bowel Cancer UK have brought back their annual campaign DECEMBEARD. This campaign encourages men cross the country men to put away the razors and growing beards for December to raise awareness and money to support our vital research and lifesaving work to stop bowel cancer.  Whether you’re new to facial fuzz or an experienced beard grower it’s easy to join in; just clean shave on 30th November and watch your beard blossom. Already bearded? Ditch or dye your beard for December and get sponsored to sport a new look for the month.
