There are barely 15,000 lions left in Africa, occupying less than 20% of their former range. Sadly, only 5 of their populations are seen as being viable.

So, to do my bit as a LionAid Trustee, I am going to grow my own mane by not shaving for a while. If I can actually grow a beard, I will go as long as I can until October 31st when the campaign ends. 

So, if you could donate some money, it will be going towards the fantastic LionAid to help their work to support our dwindling lion populations.

Things are going to get hairy !
