Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The facts are around 100 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer every day, that is approximately 1 every 15 minutes.  It is the UK's 2nd biggest cancer killer - every half hour someone dies of the disease.

1 in 16 people risk developing bowel cancer in our lifetime.  Raising money will help with research to find a cure.  For this reason I have decided to join the recruits to the current 'beard' movement.  

For 31 days I shall no longer be a slave to the razor. I shall endure the scratchiness of a new beard - peppered in grey - until the time I can shape it into a luxuriant facial adornment.

Please sponsor me as I journey through the 'George Clooney' beard - short, clipped and designed through to the ultimate - probably resembling something like  'Delboy's Uncle Albert', I shall be posting the photos for all to see.
