At the behest of my wife, I have been growing my beard out since the beginning of June 2020. It already looks fairly ridiculous, but I'm planning to mark 1 year of beard with a week of super-ridiculous facial furniture, and I'm hoping you will sponsor me to do it.

UPDATE:

We have a winner! Combined with the Facebook poll, the beard of choice (the "people's beard", if you will) was the Monkey Tail. Thanks to the fantastic guys at my local barbershop, I am already sporting the monstrosity and will keep it until the end of next weekend (30th May).

I'm hoping that now I've taken the plunge and gone through with it, a few more people will choose to donate - please do if you can!

Any money raised will be going to The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).
