Decembeard 2024 - Bowel Cancer awareness

 “Grow a beard for bowel cancer”

Every December the charity, Bowel Cancer UK, asks people to ditch the razors and grow or style a beard to support everyone affected by bowel cancer.  According to their website, bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK, with around 44,000 people diagnosed every year. This campaign is aimed at raising awareness and funds to support research and treatment.
