Yeard For Toby!

Hi everyone,

Recently we all lost a very beloved and beautiful soul, Oliver Swann-Mckay. His passing left a hole in all our hearts and since then I've been asking myself what I can do to help.

This year I decided to do a "Yeard" - A full year of uninterrupted beard growth, without shaving or excessive trimming. I knew I wanted to do this and was unsure of who I wanted to do this for, until January 19th 2020, where Oliver was tragically involved in a motorcycle accident and lost his life.

I was brought to tears from start to finish as we all said our last goodbyes at his beautiful service.One moment pulled on my heart the most during the service was Oliver's younger brother Toby's eulogy. He bravely stood in front of everyone and said how he wanted to make Oliver proud.

With this, I would like to use my 'yeard' to fundraise as much money as possible with all donations going towards Toby's tuition for the New Zealand Maritime School, where he can continue with the promise to make Oliver proud.

Together we can all help fulfil this promise.
