About a month after my 'significant' birthday in July I received a free NHS Bowel Cancer test kit. Luckily for me the results were negative but not everyone is so lucky. So this December I'm not going to shave and instead grow a lovely grey beard and raise funds for Bowel Cancer UK to help those less fortunate than me...... and I'm really pleased that my son Josh is joining in with beard growing too! I'm typing this message on 30 November .... we've both just had a shave [ and I've even had my hair cut today too] ... So we are all good to go......  Please spare a few quid and sponsor us and help us reach our £100 target. Thank you. 

Bowel Cancer UK is asking men across the nation to put aside their shaving routines and get sponsored to grow a beard for Decembeard. Taking part is easy; beard growers just need to start the 1 December clean shaven, set up a fundraising page, and get growing. Last year we raised £130,000 which helped us to support and fund targeted research, provide expert information and support to patients and their families, educate the public and professionals about the disease and campaign for early diagnosis and access to best treatment and care. Our vision is a future where nobody dies of bowel cancer but we can't achieve this alone. Join us this December, get growing and raise as much as you can!
