The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileOctoBeardFest 15 (OBF) is an exciting and fun campaign which we hope will capture the imagination of all men, everywhere. We would love to see every bloke grow a beard in October to raise desperately needed funds to support research in detecting prostate cancer faster.
Our cancer research team is conducting pioneering research into a new test to diagnose prostate cancer via a unique urine test; the first breakthrough in diagnosing prostate cancer in the past 30 years cancer. We now need £100k to further this research to help determine how aggressive the cancer is and what type of treatment may be needed.
We want everyone to have fun with this; who can grow the bushiest beard, or how about your largest sponsor decide what shape to shave in at the end of the month. Get a group of you together at work and set up a team fundraising page.
The OBF team are a very small band of volunteers so every penny raised will go directly to accelerate the research into beating prostate cancer faster.
