Hello!
I'm Eamonn, a newly qualified teacher in Glasgow originally from Belfast.
For the whole month of November I will be striving to replicate one of the greatest moustaches ever to grace the planet in aid of contact ni, a charity raising awareness for suicide and mental health.
Growing up, WWF/WWE was my favourite thing to watch.. I have many favourite wrestlers throughout the eras, ranging from Stone Cold, The Rock and The Undertaker.
However, above all, there was one Terry Gene Bollea and his 24-inch pythons, better known as Hulk Hogan, who was my all-time favourite wrestler. He was the man, the icon… and the moustache.
Therefore in tribute, I will replicate this famous bristle batton all for the good cause of charity!!
On the 1st of November I will grim the gillette razor and shave off my beard. From then on, for 30 days, my sole purpose in life will be to create the best/worst handlebar moustache I can.
From this I fully expect to raise a lot of money in tribute of this great man… HOWEVER! There is more.
On the final day of November I will come into school and teach the full day dressed as Hulk Hogan!! Including leggings, bandana, sunglasses, boa boas, WWE belt, fake tan and most importantly….. THE MOUSTACHE!!!
So if you can spare £1, £2, £5 or whatever! Please help me raise money for a very good cause. Mental health is a serious growing problem in the UK where 1 in 8 men have experienced a mental health problem and on average, 13 men each day take their life through suicide.
Things happen in life, like difficulties with work or finances, the breakdown of a relationship, overwhelming family responsibilities, or a significant setback. These challenges can take a serious toll on your mental health, if left unchecked. Many people tough it out and struggle alone. So with all that I am fundraising to help raise awareness and say it's ok not to be ok!!
Thank you for your future support!
