Story

OctoBeardFest 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.
