We all know someone who has had cancer.

With the help of the Royal Marsden, a very good friend of mine fought breast cancer a couple of years ago but sadly she is back there again receiving treatment for Leukaemia.

This month is Movember, the month where Mo Bros are encouraged to grow and groom a moustache to raise cancer awareness and this year I will be one of them.

If me growing a ridiculous moustache can aid research into stopping cancer then it is a small price to pay. After all at the end of the month I will be lucky enough to be able to just shave it off; maybe one day it will be that simple to get rid of cancer.
