Kate's "No Shave November" Challenge

Men are generally at a significantly greater risk than women from nearly all of the common cancers that occur in both sexes, with the exception of breast cancer. Furthermore, despite a similar number of men developing prostate cancer, as women who develop breast cancer, men's cancer receives substantially less funding and awareness campaigning, than women's cancer. During the month of November, a number of men grow a moustache to raise funds for Movember (a portmanteau of the slang word "mo" for moustache and "November"), to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other male cancers. As I believe male cancer awareness is as important as female cancer awareness, I am participating in my own no shaving/no waxing challenge, where I pledge not to shave for the entire month of November! Being a strong-minded person with a keen sense of humour, I am always able to laugh at myself, and don't mind doing something like this for a good cause. So, if I reach the target amount of £2000, I will continue the "no shave challenge" until December 31st, and thus continue to fundraise throughout December!! If you want a good laugh by seeing me make a total and utter hairy prat of myself, or if (like me!) you want to help find a cure and better treatments for a cruel disease, get DONATING NOW! I will even (reluctanty) post photographs of the progress... if I must. Just don't ask me to participate in a "no wash" challenge, because then I really will tell you where to go! Even if you only donate £1 or £2, it's better than nothing, especially if everyone gives something. Remember that the money goes straight to Cancer Research UK, and not via myself.
