As most of you will now be aware - I have been growing a beard since the beginning of the 2013-14 season! It started as a little challenge set to me by my girlfriend Christie but has now turned into a fundraising challenge like no other!

I'm used to having a little beard but this has now taken on epic proportions and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited for it to be removed now that it's started to take over my face! 

Any, and all, support is very much appreciated.
