Prostate cancer is the commonest cancer in men, it kills one of us every hour in the UK and 35,000 of us will be diagnosed with it in the next 12 months.

Movember is a charity that aims at raising awareness and money for research by encouraging us to grow a Mo’ for a Bro’ so that’s what I am doing.
