I have decided to shave my beard off to raise money on behalf of the fostering network.

For those of you that know me, you will know that this is not a decision that I've not come to easily! This is the first time I will be braving the shave since 1999, and I don't think I remember life without a beard!

As if any more incentive was needed than simply seeing me without a beard, I will also be letting my boss shave my beard off for me!

We will be doing this at the end of April and are aiming to reach £500 by then. But the sky is the limit and every £ raised really will do amazing things for this charity! So please donate what you can and help me reach my target and more.

I am doing this on behalf of the fostering network, who work throughout the UK to support fostered children and young people, enabling them to live life to their full potential. They also work with foster carers to provide the stability, support, and safe and loving environment that every child has a right to.
