General / Off-Topic Raising Money for Special Effect

[Michael Brookes]

Hi all!


I'm posting this as an ambassador for Special Effect and I will be participating in a Head and Beard shave (Assuming we raise enough money!) for the wonderful people at Special Effect on Saturday 11th November, in the Dun Cow in Christchurch at 8pm. If we raise £750 then all my hair will be shaved off, and if we manage over £1500, then the beard goes too!


I'm honoured to be an ambassador for Special Effect who use technology and video games to improve the quality of life for disabled people around the country. Please give generously on my JustGiving page here: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/michael-brookes-headshave


All donations - no matter how small will help change someone's life.


If you're in the area then please come along and witness how cold my head and face becomes in person At the venue we'll also collect for East Anglia Air Ambulance, who provide a valued service bring those injured in far flung places to hospital. I have to personally thank them for rescuing my sister after an accident on a horse. So again, please come along and give what you can there as well.


Thank you in advance for any support you can provide, and please share this post as widely as you can.

Update: Over £1,000 has been raised already and so the hair will be going

Hmmm, deja vu.

The comb is just awesome, the beard is fantastic, the cause is priceless...

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Can we have a dueling donation to save the beard?

Beard shavers vs Beard savers. Double the money, double the fun (See: Rhea)

 

[Zebaoth]

Don't expect any less.
At least it's not in vain and for a good cause, cudos to that.

Can I ask how many years are in the cultivation of that epic beard?

It's nearly 4 years - I shaved it off a few years ago for Movember.

A facial spray tan prior to the shave is defo worth doing

Thanks, good going bro, best of luck. Quicker than I thought, to be honest.

Go go go...sad to see the beard go, but it's a good cause.

 

[Marak]

I'm jealous, I once spent a year trying to grow a mustache and nobody noticed.

The beard must go!

It will come back - stronger than ever before

Donated, maybe we can get another donation for a wooly hat for you. It's going to be cold.

Good on you Mike.
