Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have always wanted to help this charity as I have personally seen how this condition can affect people's lives. I have two nephews that have Musular Dystrophy and in the face of this condition they have always remained brave, positive and tried not to let it affect their dreams. This is my chance to make a difference to people's lives that have to live with Musular dystrophy by supporting this fantastic charity.

I initially aim to raise £1000 and In exchange for your generosity I will shave my beard which I love to reveal the horror beneath! 😱

Now I have reached the initial target of £1000, I have set the date for the big beard shave! The big date will be Friday 14th October 2022 at my workplace of Oxford Instrument's. 😬

If I manage to raise the goal target of £2000 then I will even cut off my beloved ponytail as well. ✂️📴

If the £2000 target is reached before the 14th October 2022 then the ponytail will also come off at the same time as the beard. If the ponytail target is not reached by then, a second date for the ponytail will be set.

If the target of £2000 is raised then I also would give chance the highest donator from my work place (Oxford Instrument's) to be the one to do the chopping of my ponytail should they wish too! 😬😱 So get Donating and give as much as you can spare if you want to chop it 📴!

Please give gererously to see a new me and to give new help/hope to families living with Muscular Dystrophy.
