Many people have always assumed the goal of the popular "No-Shave November" period is to only grow out one’s beard throughout the month. However, the real purpose behind the trend is to raise cancer awareness. The goal is for participants to embrace their hair which cancer patients lose when they undergo chemotherapy.

"No-Shave November is all about not shaving your beard and pubic hair for a whole month," university student Cyprian Limo said.
