My story

 
Welcome to Rolesy's Charity Beardathon page!
What began as the simple shaving of my trusty beard for charity, has now turned into the sacrifice of my beard to give birth to many other beards. My beard is honoured!

So this is no longer just a shaving page. Its now a proper Beardathon!! A bunch of people have offered to grow a beard to show their support and take part in this great Christmas deed. Plus its the ultimate way to do it without getting into trouble because its all for charity! This whole thing is getting bigger by the week!

So here's the deal. I'm shaving my ginger chin warmer on December 21st for my work Chistmas party. In the meantime the following legendary people are growing theirs to boost the appeal and have a bit of a laugh...
The Beard Patrol: Adam Benli Andy White Matt 'The Shadow' George Dave Kirton Matt Huggett Brian Glynn Craig Robinson Rob Curtis the infamous Soori I'm asking Oxfam to invest the money into buying goats and calves for poverty stricken, third world families. One animal can change their lives big time. For more info go to www.oxfamunwrapped.com and click on 'Four legged friends' Donating on this site is fully secure, involves no spam, and you get a tax bonus added to your donation which is pretty cool. Its a good time of year to make a wee sacrifice and change someone's life forever. To give you an idea... if you donate £20, you will get a £5 tax bonus taking it to £25 which is enough to buy one goat - which will change a family's life forever! (they breed the animals as well). If you cant use your card to donate, we will happily take cash and put it through for you. A bloody huge thanks and good on ya for donating!! from Rolesy and the Beard Patrol Cheers go out to Kieran Kelly for coming up with the idea and helping organise all the hairy buggers.
