Gareth Lea has spent a while debating whether to shave his beard or not, those of you who know Gareth know how much he loves his facial hair, he cares for it better than most women care for their hair and he gets great comfort from stroking and hugging it!
Well the time has come and he has now decided that he is going to shave his beard and will be aiming in doing so to raise as much money as possible for two charities, both charities have been formed in memory of two 19yr old young women who both tragically lost their lives, Shannon Murray, who lost her battle earlier this year to Leukaemia and Charlotte Churchill who lost her life in a car accident in 2011.
Shannon's Wish, supporting children at Alder Hey....Shannon's wish is to ensure all the kids and babies on the oncology unit in Alder Hey have presents at Christmas.
Charlotte's Brightside is a children and youth charity supporting young people having a safe place to access and helping them gain experiences they may not otherwise had the opportunity to do so.
So lets all get behind Gareth and sponsor him for the wonderful support he is giving to these two charities.
See Gareth have his beard shaved off at 1pm on Sunday 1st November at Gallagher's Pub and Barbers, 20 Chester St, Birkenhead CH41 5DQ
