The Extreme Hair Challenge was set up as a fun way to protest about Mario Balotelli not being allowed extreme haircuts anymore! It's nice to be able to raise money for a worthwhile charity as well as being silly.

I volunteered with RIPPLE Africa in 2011, which kick-started my teaching career as well as giving me a valuable insight into poverty, charity and the ties that bind the human race. RIPPLE is a hands-on, low-overheads charity that employs a lot of people in a country where most people are subsistence farmers. I hope that you will help me to support this worthy work.
