UPDATE: Voting has officially ended and the winning beard is the spongebeard! Stand by for picture updates! This doesn't stop you donating and we are still aiming for the £200 mark, so please donate what you can to the British Heart Foundation as I wear the Spongebeard!

 

I've been growing my beard for coming up to a month now and it's about time my beard took on a shape! The problem is I can't decide what to do with the fuzzy animal living on my face! That's where you guys come in. To tie in with the British Heart Foundation's "National Heart Month" of February, I'm putting it to a vote!

When you donate to via JustGiving, a simple, fast and totally secure way to donate to charity online, you are entitled to one vote that you can use to decide the beard/mustache I should wear. I will sport this beard for at least a week, no matter how silly it looks or how many heads turn when I walk down the street.

The more friends you get to vote, the more likely I will wear that beard!

Stuck for ideas?

Why not vote for one of the following?

* The Lemmy (The friendly mutton chops)

* The Dr Fu Manchu

* The Wolverine (Mutton chops)

* The Billy Connolly (Purple Goatee)

* The Frank Zappa

* The Craig David

* The Tom Selleck

Have a look at the photos to see what they look like!

Got a good idea? Share it!

Please remember that this is for charity, so nothing inappropriate, but other than that you donate, you decide!

How do I vote? Simple ...

1) Donate a sum of money via JustGiving... £5, £10, £20, however much you can give

2) In your comment specify which beard you would like to see

3) Check back as the votes come in!

You don't need to make your donation public, but if you do, it will help people track how the voting is going.

Voting officially ends at 23:59 on Saturday 6th February 2010. The votes will be counted and I will post the beard of choice on this page. On Sunday the beard will be trimmed and styled ready for the following week. Look out for the pictures!
