My boss, Chris Webber's lovely daughter, Holly, has bowel cancer and she is now in the very capable care of The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice. Holly is very keen to raise funding for the hospice and for the fight against bowel cancer, both of which rely heavily on charitable donations. I have therefore decided to join the Chris Evans "Decembeard" charity fundraiser which essentially means that I have stopped shaving and started growing a beard. Holly's dad and most of the other guys in the office are doing the same but I'd like you to sponsor me by making a small donation and see if I can get the beard the same length as the moustache!! The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice also means a lot to our family as Sue's dad spent his last few weeks there and the staff were not only wonderful to her dad but our whole family. So please help me meet my target, to help Holly and others. Thanks
