DENVER — Fighting cancer sucks under normal circumstances. Fighting cancer during a pandemic is just plain horrible.
- MORE: Two time cancer survivor raising funds, supporting others through Colorado NovemBeard campaign
- MORE: Colorado-based cancer research funded in part by events such as Colorado NovemBeard
- MORE: Keeping your beard groomed after the month of November
That's why members of the Denver7 team are taking part in the American Cancer Society’s Colorado NovemBeard campaign for the third year in a row. The men are letting their beards grow as conversation starters to raise money for the ACS’s cancer research efforts as well as programs that provide information and assistance to patients in Colorado. Remote resources have become even more critical for cancer patients during the COVID-19 era.

Cancer is the leading cause of death in Colorado, and one-in-three people will be diagnosed with some form of the disease at some point during their life. This year alone in Colorado, 2,270 men will be newly diagnosed with prostate cancer and another 540 will die. About 120 Colorado men will die of melanoma in 2019, many of them part of the 1,830 who will be learning they have the disease.
