Movember donation challenge

Many of you know that I am doing Movember this year, in support of Prostate Cancer UK and other men’s health organizations.

Many of you also know Mathew Swift, who in his Beardy Challenge hasn’t shaved since January 1, 2011, raising funds for the Willow Wood Hospice which has been supporting his wife Joan as she fights cancers of her own.

I’m going to now give you a chance to support both causes at once.

I’m essentially offering a matching grant: For every pound donated to my Movember campaign between now and the end of the month, I will match that amount as a donation to Mat and Joan. So whatever you donate – £5 or £10 or £50 – to my Movember campaign, I will in turn donate that same amount to the Beardy Challenge*.

Ready? Go!

[*up to a total sum donation of...eh, let's say, £500. If you've already contributed to my Movember campaign, your donation will be included. I'll donate a lump sum in the first few days of December.]
