Decembeard Fundraiser With Stages Of Beard Shave
Each year Bowel Cancer Australia dedicates the final months of the year to our hair-raising fundraisers - Decembeard and Decembhair. It’s a fun and unconventional way to raise much needed awareness and funds for Australia’s second deadliest cancer.
 
“A beard takes patience and determination not to shave. Having it for a year made me realise how short a year really is and how my father must have felt even though he didn’t know he only had a year left with us,” said Benjamin, former Decembeard fundraiser.
 
Each week 293 Australians are diagnosed with bowel cancer and 101 die, making it Australia’s second deadliest cancer.
 
“I hope it in some way helps change someone’s life or helps start the conversation about bowel cancer. I didn’t realise how quick and horrible it is until it was too late,” Benjamin added.
 
Got some extra-long ‘lockdown locks’ you’re considering shaving, cutting, trimming or waxing?
 
Sign up for Decembeard / Decembhair for some hair-spiration and put that hair to good use!

Between now and the end of the year grow hair anywhere or cut, colour or shave it off to help beat bowel cancer.
