Tom's purple beard shave · 1 May 2017

We’re the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. Right now, over 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. We’re working to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research and to raise awareness.

Story

Voting has now closed as the beard was shaved on June 10th 2017 but feel free to donate to support my purple bearded efforts!

Synopsis of the challenge that ended on June 10th 2017:

The time has come to SHAVE THE BEARD!! However to make the most of the longest beard I've ever had and will ever have (6 months growth) I'm going to dye it purple on 1st May!

The reason for dying it purple is to raise awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (what I have) in preparation for shaving it off on World IBD on 19th May.

To make the most impact there will also be a fundraising angle. If you like the beard and it's purpleness and wish to postpone the shave then for every £10 you donate I will add one day to the planned big shave day! If you are anti-beard then feel free to donate too just mark your donation with the word 'SHAVE' and for each £10 donated the shave date will be brought forward by a day! £5 is half a day, £20 is two days etc!

Any money you can give will be greatly appreciated.
