My colleague Michael has been diagnosed with Bowel Cancer, it was a surprise to everyone at The Cambridge to hear someone so young, fit and resilient is being picked on by cancer, you can read his story HERE

Decembeard is a Bowel Cancer initiated event to raise money and awareness, ultimately they want to support early diagnosis with an aim to save lives, so by supporting me and team stead, you may save a life - how amazing is that!

My beard has been by my side for about 6 years, at the end of November it's all going! and then I'll be growing it back (with or without patches) during December, just about ready for New Years I'll probably look like someone from ZZ Top... I'll update with pictures along the way.
