Story

What’s happening?

In November when most men grow moustaches for charity, I’ll be doing the opposite.

The beard is going and I’ll be clean shaven for the whole month!

I’ll be doing it in aid if save the children.

Why them?

As the grown-ups of the world fight, the kids suffer.

They don’t care about colour, creed, race, religion, borders or boundaries, but they still end up hungry and in hospital as a result of adult disputes.

Save the children do amazing work all over the world, not just in areas of trouble.
So if you feel inclined to donate , I don’t care how much £1 or £1000 (if you’re a pro footballer) not for me, but for the children.
Spread the word (particularly to pro footballers) and together we can do some real good.
