Story

Yes - I will shave my head on March 1st for charity!!

At first I was going to raise this money for the British Heart Foundation in Jonathan Marshall's (an ex-colleague whom we sadly lost to a heart attack in November) name, but I had a change of heart after the Haiti earthquake. We already contributed a decent amount to the BHF as a company and having gone through (although not personally) a very similar, horrifying and tragic experience in Turkey in 1999, I decided to go for the survivors of the catastrophe in Haiti.

"Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Disasters Emergency Committee will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you."

So please donate, regardless of the amount, because as Tesco suggests, "every little helps".. And don't let it stop you when we hopefully get to £2500. I set the target, you will set the limit...

Thank you!!

Best regards,

Murat
