Yes, it's October already and that means the return of the 'stache.
Moustache that is. Last year Hong Kong was clogged with more hair than a Bert Reynolds bath plug - my own contribution was a full beard, shaved down to reveal a weighty 'stache in the final days of the month.
This year, I'm going for complete humiliation by 'stache-ing from the outset. The target is 'Sabotage' era Beastie Boys, though I am sure to end up with something closer to Ned Flanders. I'll settle for something in the middle... John (Hall &) Oats perhaps?
Please donate - if not for my charming facial hair - then for Room to Read, a truly effective charity. Through school visits to different countries in Asia, I've noticed how very lucky we are to receive an education which gives us the opportunity to shape our own lives. Many children grow up without the privilege of making their own choices. Room to Read helps to construct schools, provide facilities and run sustainable programmes that aim to break the cycle of poverty.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
