Ok peeps here's the deal:

On Friday the 20th of November, Children in Need day, myself and my good colleague Chris Panting will have our hair shaved back to lengths of which I last saw on Harry Hill. (Ok maybe a little bit more than Harry has!)

We'll get the mop chop in the foyer of the Willis Building in Ipswich with no doubt plenty of hecklers making sure we don't get cold feet!

A couple of paper forms are going round the office but we're both well aware there's a few of you good guys out there who would like to help out this most awesome cause from further afield.

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.

To quote the BBC's slogan, Give What You Can :)

Thank you all so much from Alex, Chris and Carol (our super organiser type lady!) x x x
