I'm doing Movember this year and it is for a very special cause.

Last week a very close friend of mine lost his Dad suddenly due to acute pancreatitis, a condition in which 1 in 4 people who develop it will go on to have severe complications which can sadly also be fatal.

Guts UK are a charity who help support and provide awareness for all people affected by issues in the digestive system, from top to tail. I am hoping to raise £50 to help their cause and it would mean the world if you were able to contribute.

From Guts UK:

"We're getting to grips with guts!" 25ft is a lot of gut to understand! The truth is, our guts have been underfunded, understaffed and undervalued for decades. People are suffering, people are dying. All because of a lack of knowledge about our guts.With new knowledge, we will end the pain and suffering for the millions affected by digestive diseases. Guts UK’s research leads to earlier diagnoses, kinder treatments and ultimately, a cure.
