Hello and once again thank you for taking the time to read our story. My name is Frank and my partners is Bianca. We both work within the NHS, at Newcastle and Northumbria trusts. As some of you know we've been trying for a family for a couple of years now with no joy. 

Unfortunately this has not happened for us and we are now in touch with the Fertility Clinic at the centre for life in Newcastle and had loads of help and support from our local doctors surgery and DRC at NTGH.

We have undergone lots of tests and examinations, more so my partner as many have before us.

We are now lucky enough to have been accepted for 3 rounds of IVF funded by the NHS. We are truly overwhelmed and elated. We would like to try and help raise some money to put something back in the pot for the fantastic work they do at the Centre For Life.

After getting fed up with shaving and fancying a change I decided to start growing a beard. I've now been sporting it for just over a year and have endured a lot of stick, insults, offensive and sometimes hurtful comments. Then there's the envious ones, the lovers and the jealous ones who could never in a million years grow one.

Which brings me to where I'm at now a lot of people keep saying they will pay me to remove the beard 🤔 🤔 💡. So I'm taking them up on their offer. As many of you know or may not know IVF costs can run in to the thousands and many get into debt trying to start a family.

So I'm willing to shave off the beard for sponsorship I'm looking to raise around £3,500 enough to help fund a round of IVF. If the target creeps to £5,000 I'll get my head shaved and if it exceeds £10,500 enough to fund 3 rounds of IVF I'll brave a full body wax except (sac n crack)  🤣 🤣 

Also for those who would like me to keep the beard sponsor me using this same link 😂.  

I'm booked in for the beard shave off on the 13th of December 2019. At the original Turkish barbers Park view Whitley bay with thanks to ERHAN the boss.

Thanks again for your support and kind donations. Please feel free to copy and paste the link on Facebook or any other social media sites. 

I will perform the head shave and full body wax in due course if targets are met so keep sharing and help out an amazing place that provides hope to many.
