James Denley-Dufton & Chris Bond are having a beard off throughout all of 2015 to raise money for 2 charities! No shaving for the whole year! 

Sponsored by Kingpins Barbers in Cheltenham who have very kindly donated 12 month's worth of beard and haircuts to our cause! we will take a picture each month after every haircut/beard tidying and post them both here and on our Instagram page - http://instagram.com/2015beardoff/ or @2015beardoff

As our beards get longer we will put them to good use, so if you donate you can style them as you like, do stupid stuff with them, so long as you donate you can do what you want (within reason!)
At the end of it all we will get a time lapse video made up showing how we both got on and for a bit of a laugh. You guys can decide who the winner is! 

Our two chosen charities are:

- Alzheimer's Society: This disease and dementia generally has had an impact on all of us in one way or another. I myself (Chris) have had it affect my family directly with my Gran having it in the latter stages of her life. Dementia is a horrible disease and we feel this is a very worth cause. 
If you wish to donate to this charity, please donate at www.justgiving.com/beard-off-2015

- Samaritans: We have both lost a friend very recently to suicide and feel that the work that Samaritans do to provide support and someone who listens on the end of the phone is so invaluable and important, we felt this was another wonderful cause to raise money for.
To donate to Samaritans, please visit our just giving page for them at: www.justgiving.com/2015-beard-off

We are kicking this all off Friday 02/01/2015 at Kingpins Barbers with a cut throat shave. Wish us luck!
