In order to raise awareness of testicular cancer November is the month we allow our men to grow a beard in order to show support for the many men who fall prey to this cancer each year.

In the UK, Prostate cancer kills one man every day, and testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 18-35.


Do you know anyone who is taking part in this event?

:happy:

    All the management at my work are taking part! (Just the men, obviously...)

    They all started growing their beards a week or so ago and have shaved to leave just the moustache as of today!

    They do look ridiculous... Haha. Such a good cause!

    I wish there was something us girls could do as well... I suggested not shaving my legs for a month. Ha!
