Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Mary Stevens Hospice helped my Dad live out his last days with dignity and comfort. Sitting in their garden listening to Pink Floyd in the sun will be one of my greatest memories. By raising money, others may have the chance to create amazing parting memories with their loved ones.

I want to grow a beard for a year, to see how long it will get. The knowledge that I would be raising money for an amazing charity would spur me onward.

I will take a photo everyday to create a time-lapse of the whole year, and on here I will post a photo on the first of every month to show the stages of growth.

I am aiming for £1000 to be donated over the course of the year so please share and spread the message. Thank you.
