My name is Jon Phillips and I have a beard and a pretty good one at that. Some of you reading this will know me and my beard but if you don't know me you've probably heard about it. My beard is something of impressive beauty (even if I do say so myself) and it captivates the people around it. It’s a beard that transcends mere facial hair—its intertwined into my identity and is as much a part of who I am as anything else. The beard is me and I am the beard.
So with your help, I’m going to shave it off.
Why you might ask, here's why.....

I have a friend Nicola, she's 32 years old, she has a husband, Alex and two young children Owen and Ava and sadly has been given 2 years to live. Nicola's treatment options for metastatic lung cancer on the NHS have sadly come to an end and she is currently on the way to raising £100,000 in order to receive lifesaving treatment and I want to help such a lovely woman who deserves to see her children grow up.

So please, please support Nicola and help her receive lifesaving treatment!!

Anything you contribute will make a huge difference!!!
