Beard growing challenge

Olly Scholefield is raising money for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Beard growing · 3 December 2015

It's bewildering and unsettling for anyone going into hospital but especially for children and that is why we are a fundraising hospital. We raise funds to enhance the experience of our patients by providing state of the art medical equipment and facilities and creating a child-friendly environment.

Story

(Whilst I wholehearted support 'Decembeard'), this year I want to raise money for Birmingham Children's Hospital as my nephew Fergus is currently undergoing treatment there for a very aggressive and rare form of brain tumour. The care and dedication of the hospital staff is second to none and Fergus is being very well looked after and incredibly brave. 

Times of adversity really do bring out the best in people and show how amazing us human beings can be. The resolve and positivity my brother Barney and sister-in-law Lou have found is truly inspiring. 

Growing a beard is not new and will not change the world on it's own, but I want to do whatever I can to support them, let them know that we are here for them and to give them hope.

Any donations and/or positive messages would be brilliant.
