To whom it may concern,

With everything in the world seeming a little bit depressing right now, I thought I’d brighten up your inbox with a news story that could bring joy to your readers!

I’m currently raising money for Llys Nini RSPCA by shaving my beard off. I have so far raised over £700 for the charity and I’ll be shaving the beard off on the 28th of February. 

I’ve had my beard for seven years, and it is one of my most defining features. Many people won’t know what I look like without it. 
Because I had such a great response to the big shave-off, I decided that I would dye my beard when I hit £500. The colour chosen for me was rainbow! I hit that target on Friday the 19th and dyed my beard on Saturday the 20th.  

I’ve chosen Llys Nini as due to the ongoing pandemic, they haven’t been able to raise as much money as they normally would do when they could have their shop open and run events and fundraisers. They are an independently run, self-funding charity based in South Wales committed to providing animal welfare services in the area. The branch is affiliated with the national RSPCA but receives no automatic funding from it, which means they need to raise £800,000 a year to cover their running costs.
