Mabus staff & associates have agreed to collectively undertake the “castaway challenge” in November 2013 in aid of the teenage cancer trust and will be grateful for any and all donations.

This challenge is a shameless adaption of the more well-known “Movember” event with the exception that this will involve growing a full beard – No trimming, tidying or dyeing of grey hair is permitted. The winner will ultimately be the party that collects the most donations but the party most representative of the same level of hirsute excellence as that achieved by Tom Hanks in the film of the same name will also be recognised as making the biggest sacrifice.

The humiliation of appearing in public for an entire month in the semblance of an open university lecturer circa 1974 must be worth a donation to a worthy cause ? Each individuals photographic progress update will be regularly updated throughout the month of November.

Please give generously – we will be grateful for any and all donations!
