Thanks for dropping by to my JustGiving page! I was inspired by several friends of mine who are participating in 'No-Shave November' to raise funds for Prostate Cancer charities, such as PROSTATE CANCER UK. Alas, the average 9-year-old boy could best me at beard growing, so I've found a more dignified way to join this good cause!

For those who know me, you might agree I might have a bit of a coffee problem. I spend most of the day highly caffeinated, averaging at around 5 espresso shots in a quiet afternoon. From the 1st of November to the 1st of December, I will be going teatotal. This will be particularly challenging as I work part-time in a café, where I am constantly surrounded by wonderful coffees!

Prostate cancer affects 1 in 6 men in the UK, and killed over 11,000 men in 2016. The average 'designer coffee' from Starbucks, Costa or Café Nero costs approximately £3. Gentlemen (and ladies!), I ask that you consider forgoing just one coffee this month, and contribute the cost instead to this cause.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving, and they won't spam you with unwanted emails either! Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity, saving time and cutting costs. If you'd like to know more about this fundraising project, please drop me a message on social media platforms or you can find me wandering around Newcastle in a zombified state!
