Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Starting 1st December 2013, I'll be dyeing my hair in colours that correspond with the Anglican liturgical calendar: purple for Advent, white/gold for Christmas, green for "Ordinary Time" and so on. For every £30 raised on this page I will keep dyeing for another day, until the start of Pentecost (red). 

I'll be taking some photos along the way, and blogging about what I learn about the liturgical calendar  -- and perhaps also about rapid hair-colour changes! 

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Wow! Green. I'd love to make it as far as Lent (purple) or even Holy Week (red), but this is really good. Thanks to everyone who has donated so far!
