What is Decembeard?
Decembeard is a month long campaign by Bowel Cancer UK where men are sponsored to ditch the razor and grow a beard in the name of bowel cancer awareness. Whether it’s the longest beard or manscaping the most epic design it’s to get people asking about the beard and opening up the discussion around bowel cancer.
Bowel cancer is the third most common cause of death in the world, affecting both men and women. Every year just over 40,000 people are diagnosed and more than 16,000 people die of the disease. If caught early enough bowel cancer can be successfully treated.
