My story

 

I've had a beard since I left school (35 years ago). A friend (Hanna) suggested I could look 10 years younger by shaving it off (sounds good to me). I'm happy to do so in support of one of the most worthwhile charities I know - Hope and Homes for Children.

I plan to raise at least £5,000 which is sufficient to assess and re-home (in their own country) 10 children currently in Eastern European institutions. Imagine your child being locked away with nothing to look forward to and then imagine that child with a family and a future.

When I've raised the money I might even have a haircut as well.

Love and Peace
Chris
