It’s long overdue that I got rid of this ridiculous barnet! On Wednesday the 6th of August at 16.30 UK time I’ll be giving up my pathetic attempt at becoming the worlds number 1 hybrid tribute act for Ricks Parfitt and Wakeman..

Due to the thatch finally getting to the requisite 12” or 30cm, in real currency, the not so manly main will be going to the https://www.littleprincesses.org.uk/donate-hair

…and the monies raised will be going to the Gaza Crisis Appeal, a charity and subject that I feel hugely passionate and growingly depressed about. Please give generously to this desperately needed cause, and allow me to live in my 50s not looking quite so utterly ludicrous..

The ongoing conflict and situation in Gaza is catastrophic. Famine is looming, clean water is scarce, and the healthcare system has all but collapsed. Most people have fled from their homes, but there is nowhere safe left to go. We are witnessing unacceptable and relentless human suffering. Aid alone will not solve this crisis, but it will save lives. People urgently need clean water, food, and medical care. Red Cross and Red Crescent teams have already helped over half the population, working tirelessly to alleviate suffering wherever they can.

Please note:

The Gaza Crisis Appeal will support people in areas affected and those potentially affected in the future by this crisis. Gift Aid claimed on donations received in response to this appeal will be used to fund the whole of our work. In the event there are surplus funds raised for this appeal these will be used for the general charitable purposes of the British Red Cross.
