Hello, my Friends!
The 2014 British Beard And Moustache Championships (Bath Pavilion, September 13) will be supporting two very worthy causes: Dorothy House Hospice and Depression Alliance*. Please help me raise funds for the BBMCs' chosen charities AND mark the special occasion - in a permanent way! Here's the How and Why:
HOW:
For every £1 you donate to this fund, half will go toward the cost of inking a great big-ass tattoo on my great big ass... and half to Dorothy House and Depression Alliance. I hope to raise £700, which will mean the charitable donations match the cost of the tattoo. Any sums raised over and above that will go straight to the charities. I have pledged to provide FULL PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE - and who knows, if you're generous enough I'll sign it and send it to you personally!
WHY?
As the current World #2 Whiskerina and
co-host of the Championships, I am deeply supportive of the good work
done by Bearding communities all over the world. Whether it's national
fundraising or helping one Bearded Brother in need, their warmth and
generosity is an inspiration.
From a personal point of view, my involvement in 'bearding' marks another milestone which began with Poetry and progressed to Burlesque. It has taken me all over the UK and abroad as a performance poet and/or bearding advocate. The positive effects on my confidence and self-esteem are huge, and I am so grateful to all who have supported me.
By uniting my love of Beards, Shakespeare, Poetry... and Octopi, artist Brian Kesinger has created a piece of artwork which - with YOUR help - will become a lasting reminder of the great positive influences in my life. By donating to my cause, YOU will be helping me in my own journey, and supporting two charities providing direct care and benfit for those whose need is beyond great.
PLEASE DONATE TODAY - AND GET A GREAT BIG-ASS TATTOO ON MU'S GREAT BIG ASS! Thank you. Lots of love.
Mu.
