The above was pasted from Tracey and Andrew's JustGiving page.Many forms of mental illness can cause (or provoke) self-harm, which can include cutting or shaving one's hair off. As we - Tracey & Andrew - have had first-hand experience of mental illness, and with family and friends who have also suffered and been through treatment, we decided that MIND was the most appropriate charity to support, and our 'event' will be a sponsored head-shave - including a full beard removal from Andrew's face!
We will shave our heads (to a 'number 2') on 7th September 2009!
Many eBider's will know Tracey as Rainbowcraft on eBid. They are having their heads shaved today and are a long way off their target of £500, so if you can spare a pound or two then please sponsor them at www.justgiving.com/rainbowcraft/
I know everyone here has been supporting charities through the YDC recently but this is another very good cause so any support would be very much appreciated by both Tracey and Andy.
I assume that they will be keeping their JustGiving page open after their head shave unil the get nearer their target.
