Story

Here's what's on the table.....

I love Street Pastors, what we do and what we represent.  We are a charity and rely on the donations of others to remain operational, just as we rely on the willingness of our volunteers to give up their time to be available to help others.  And so, I offer to you the opportunity to decide the fate of my facial hair!

Having spent the first 41.5 years of my life predominantly absent of facial hair, the last year and a third have been a bit of a nightmare for my very patient wife as I have, in the words of The Lorax - "Let it Grow".  It had, in my mind, been a bit of an experiment that wasn't supposed to last too long, but people kinda' got used to it.

Having intentionally left it unhindered and untrimmed, it is getting a bit out of control and so, it's decision time.  I put that decision in your hands.

I'm setting up two JustGiving pages, this one (the "Let it GO" option) and another one which is titled the "Let it Grow" option.  Any funds raised from BOTH pages will go to Aberdeen Street Pastors.  Whichever page raises the most funds, I follow that decision.  Every £ is a vote!

So, if you love and support my wife and you think it should go, make a donation here.  If you think it should stay, search for my other fundraising page (or I might be able to edit and put a link in here later once the other page is set up).

As an additional incentive to raise funds, the highest single donation on this page earns the authority for my wife and/or kids to style it into a ridiculous style which I'll have to keep for 24 hours.  Maybe an Amish look, mutton chops, the choice is up to you.  No doubt, photographs will be taken and posted.

If you'd like more info on what Street Pastors do, you can read up on our local initiative here: https://streetpastors.org/locations/aberdeen/ or our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/aberdeenstreetpastors. The national Street Pastors page is: https://www.streetpastors.org/

Alternatively, chat to me about it!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
