So i wanted to raise money for the local Childrens hospital a couple of years ago, so decided to dye my beard, eyebrows and what little hair i have to white for the Christmas holidays,, went down a treat, little kids loved me, and we raised a couple of hundred pounds through the sponsorship, the dye job was painfull but worth it in the end, the amount of little kids and people in general who stopped us when we were out and about was great, i took to having candy canes to hand out good times,

    Thank you @janer1967, i did plan on doing it this year, but the original salon we used had closed, and a couple of new places didn't want to do it, which is a shame,

    I love this @Grinchy. It's made me feel a lot more festive and I didn't think that possible!

    I have had a couple of people message me about this, worrying about online privacy and showing my face, i am careful with what i share online, and keep an eye on it, i believe it'll be ok, wishing you all the best x
