On my 84th birthday, 29 June 2022, Hayley of Halo will completely shave off my beard & moustache for charity. You can sponsor this startling event by donating to one or more of the four charities I've chosen to benefit from my new face-nakedness which I pledge to maintain for at least a year. RIGHT-CLICK on one of THE FOLLOWING LINKS to: donate to OPENDEMOCRACY , AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL UK , LOROS the Leicestershire & Rutland Hospice, or the UNICEF UKRAINE APPEAL, then select 'Open link in new window' to go to the donation page for that charity linked to my beard-shaving event, and click on the blue 'Give Now' box.

They are all very worthwhile causes, as described on the donations pages. Please give what you can, and make my shearing (and any resultant chill) worthwhile. Thank you for considering this and for any contribution you may make.

Kind Regards, Colin Lester
