Comic Relief - 13 March 2009
Whilst waiting for a Council Committee meeting to begin this evening (what a sad life I lead!) someone asked what about doing something for Comic Relief.
So , on Comic Relief Day I will dye my beard a colour (not decided but happy to be advised) and wearing a Red Nose go to work in a public place for the day. Any money raised will go to Comic Relief.
It would be good if some colleagues could join me for part of the day with their beards....real or fake will do.......all in a good cause.
Any other fund raising ideas involving beards.......the shaving of the beard is a not one of them....that will be in 45 weeks time if I last that long!

Thank you......
Already had one pledge of £5 per month (£60 for the year) and another pledge with the amount...come Grass...show me the colour of your money

Sponsored beard year!
Sponsored Beard!
It started off as a bet amongst friends just before the end of 2008. However the reaction I got from friends and work colleagues made me think perhaps something positive could come out of growing this itchy growth!
The facts on Prostate Cancer are surprising high which is why early detection is essential if men are to have a chance to fight the cancer.
I am going to grow the beard for One year.
Each month I will upload a picture of the beard which I will not trim!
I am looking for a pledge for an amount per month as I am not sure how I will cope if we have a hot summer!
Any Beardies who have advice on keeping cool with a beard please let me know.
Anyone who is interested in sponsoring email me at burgessbeard@hotmail.co.uk
I am going to look at other fund raising events later in the year so keep checking the BLOG.

Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer has overtaken lung cancer to become the most common cancer in men.
Nearly 35,000 men are diagnosed every year in the UK.
This increasing incidence is largely due to a higher number of cases being diagnosed, (through the greater use of PSA tests), and the influence of an ageing population.
Around 10,000 men die from prostate cancer every year in the UK. This works out as over one man every hour.
The majority of men with prostate cancer are aged over 60 years. Although this cancer can also occur in younger individuals, it is very rare under the age of 50
