Hey Good People,

Many of you are aware I am very involved with a youth organisation called Rocknations which is part of LIFE Church. Every year we take over 150 young people (11-18 year olds) from Bradford and Leeds away to a conference centre in the Mid Wales hills called Cefn Lea during their April half term holidays.

Cefn Lea is set in over 300 acres of beautiful country side and provides opportunities for mountain walks, forest trails, nature reserve, pitch and putt and on site football and tennis courts.

For many of these youth this will be their first time leaving England and for a smaller proportion of them, the first time leaving Bradford or Leeds. Our heart is to take them out of their context to allow them to dream about their futures and invest in their potential as future world changers.

The trip will provide young people the opportunity to create memories that we know they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Something special happens on youth camps and every year we have gathered young people on similar residential trips and they have returned home forever changed.

I would love to sponsor as many young people as possible to go on this trip, and in order to do that I'm giving you the opportunity to play your part. 

Over recent months my Facial hair growth has come under much criticism and scrutiny. Many have voiced their opinions over their love or incredible dislike of my beard. I never fully appreciated the controversy a bit of fluff on my face could cause until now. 

Well NOW you have an opportunity to have your say! All money donated will go towards sponsoring youth to go on camp this upcoming April. 

All you need to do is donate and indicate in the comment section of your donation either "SAVE" or "SHAVE". The group that gives the most amount of money (Save or Shave) will get their wishes. 

The SHAVE Group will witness the shaving of the beard and the SAVE Group will see the beard for another calendar year! There is a lot at stake, now put your money where your Mouth is!
