Quick addition, whoever donates the most, gets to shave the beard into any format they so choose, and it stays for a week.

Throughout the month of November (and possibly beyond) I will be growing a beard, as part of Beards for Babies - an initiative to raise money and awareness for the Foundation for the Study of Infant Death (FSID). I'm hoping to raise at least £150, so this depends on how long I have to keep the beard as to whether it's only November!

FSID is a charity very close to my heart as my partner's family suffered the horrific loss of her sister due to cot death. 

FSID do fantastic work with regards to researching the causes of sudden infant death, supporting families who have suffered this tradegy, as well as creating an awareness and providing information on sudden infant death.

With your help they can help provide more support, greater awareness and carry out more research. Please dig deep!
