Help Emily and I raise money towards 120 surgeries in the Philippines. The Ruel Foundation will be performing these life changing and indeed lifesaving surgeries in February 2016. They need $8000 to make it happen.

I have promised that if we can raise $5000 then I will shave my enormous beard.

Emily's care throughout her 10 years has been nothing short of outstanding - she has grown into a beautiful confident girl that sings like an angel - she still has her scars and challenges but life would have been impossible without the surgeries.

This is a very small way to help other children in her situation.

Honestly - I was asked what it would take to shave my beard. I said nothing was important enough, then Emily suggested this cause. I was wrong!!

I pledge to shave my beard if we can get in behind and raise the funds.

Just give a little. $5, $10, $100. It doesn't matter how much just what ever is best for you.

13 Days to go 20 January 2016

We have had a really exciting week this week!!

Our good friend Sarah Beaufoy from Beaufoy Images has donated a photo shoot to get some really cool pictures of me and Emily to help promote our fundraiser for the last 2 weeks.

These will be posted on our Facebook pages so please keep an eye out for these and share them with all of your friends, family and colleagues.

We are over halfway to shaving the beard now so with a big push I'm confident we can make it happen.
