SURE SET FOR CLOSE SHAVE

Sure employees have been facing up to some hairy mo-ments this month to raise money for the Prostate Cancer Charity.

Through ‘Movember’, the Sure Shave Redemption team have been cultivating their upper lips in the sponsored moustache growing appeal.

Corporate Account Directors Jon McCulloch and Gary Gannon, Retail Assistant James Baker, and PR & Marketing’s Steve Smith and Ed Egglishaw have all ditched their razors for the whole of November. However, they will soon be reaching for the clippers at a sponsored shave off at the Sure store in King Street on the 1st December, where anyone can get a free beard or head shave between 7 and 9am, with a retiring collection for the charity.

Prostate cancer is now the most common cancer in men in the UK, with one in 11 diagnosed in their lifetime, and about 10,000 dying from the disease each year.

All the money raised by the Sure Shave Redemption will go directly to the charity, and be used to fund research into the causes, treatment and impact of prostate cancer. It will also provide support and information for men affected by the disease and their families.

Sure’s Jon McCulloch, whose young daughter has refused him a good night cuddle till he loses the fuzz, said it was a very worthwhile cause.

“Movember is obviously light-hearted, but the charity aspect is very important. We’re supporting the Prostate Cancer Charity to raise awareness of men’s health issues and to provide funds for research and care. Anyone wanting to get involved, get a morning shave or support the Prostate Cancer Charity will be welcome to join us at the shave off on the morning of the 1st December,” he said.

“Knowing that we’re helping to raise awareness is very important as the number of men affected is growing, but prostate cancer is still not taken as seriously as it should be. I’m sure we’ll see some really fantastic ‘taches at the end of the month.”
