IF you're still basking in the glow of your new "mo" grown for Movember, how about giving in to even more facial hair for Decembeard?
The annual Bowel Cancer Australia fundraiser encourages blokes to grow a beard to raise awareness and much-needed funds to beat bowel cancer.
Whether your fancy is a goatee, chin strip or Van Dyke, or perhaps a Balbo, Chevron or anchor, put the razor away and join the hirsute pursuit of beard-growing.
If you already have a beard, you can take a Decembeard challenge and dye, decorate or ditch your beard for a great cause.
The fairer sex and children aren't left out, either. They can take part by making or faking a beard or hosting a Decembeard themed fundraiser.
