Story

And so the story begins...

Last year two of my great mates (Bobby & Dave), decided to raise money for Help For Heroes, after they had both spent time with the Army on tours across Bosnia, Afghanistan & Iraq.

They attempted, and completed, 7 half marathons, in 7 days across 7 countries and due to a change in my circumstances, i was unable to donate to such a worthy cause.

Just after completing 7/7/7, I asked Dave what they planned to do next and when he answered with, "...climbing Everest!" I knew that iI had to help these two out as much as I could...

...and this is where the hair comes in!

My hair has always been wild, thick, fast growing and pretty much too expensive to keep in a style, so when I left full-time employment 22 months ago to raise my son, I decided to leave it to see how it ended up.

It's still growing, and will be until the Thursday 25th July when the clippers get turned on at The Grange in Scratby and I loose my locks (which i've grown pretty attached to) for another 22 months!
