Hi Guys,
    I'm fundraising to create a noisy room at the school for autistic kids where I work. Im gonna shave my beard off and am letting the public decide how its gonna be by auctioning off votes

https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/0y099/ab/34eDU2?psid=df04e246274a4b5dafc41ed31f745913&fb_ref=share__34eDU2

If you donate, I look like a dick :)

p.s. please dont vote for "semi skimmed" the kids are going bananas for that one and I'm already regretting putting it on the list

little bit sad at the lack of response to this,
 I know times are tough but a quid or two , via paypal, isnt really much to ask is it?
 it will make such a difference to some young people whose lives are very tough

It's fine of you to ask, and i understand your disappointment, but please keep in mind that people do devote time and money to their own causes, and some here are in need themselves.

absolutely, no wukkas,
thats why I only expressed my sadness rather than anything negative, and gently reminded what a small donation we are asking and that is was easy via paypal.
 I apologies if anyone found it offensive.
I read LBO most days and if any of you lot  were to ask for a quid for a good cause via paypal I'd bung in, I was genuinely surprised that it hadn't happened.
 Plus I've been growing the blasted thing for over a year and am a bit exasperated at how short it's falling as a fundraising idea when I though it was a peach.

What happens to the beard if you don't reach the goal? Are you still going to shave it in the style that the final vote called for?

realistically i didn't expect to raise the whole lot with the beard stunt so its getting shaved in whatever gets the most votes, which unfortunately at the moment is the Half and half.
  my next step I think will be a benefit gig/party, a local pub have agreed to host it, I'm thinking Blues Barbeque

... to burn the rest off...? ;)

If research was easy, it wouldn't need doing...
Staring at that event horizon is a dirty job, but someone has to do it; something's going to come back out of it one day...

I voted for the Blackadder. I think it's time for trimmed facial hair to make a comeback. I work with a few guys that seem to be in full ZZ Top mode for their beard growth.
