Hello All,
Please don’t get bored and not read this there is a point to it ;-)
Right I am part of a 4x4 off-road club (a few of you already know this) as well as being on this forum.
Our 4x4 team is a charity based club, and we raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Over the last 10 years the club has raised well over £60k for Macmillan Cancer Support
Every March we take part in the MAC4x4 Challenge http://www.mac4x4.co.uk/
Last year our club broke all raising records and hit just over an amazing £20,000.00 in one year.
Last year I decided to raise a little money towards our club charity fund by Dying my BRIGHT PINK, in total I raised just over £700.00 and kept it like that for 3 weeks.
Heres the good bit…………..
In 4 weeks time I am going to be dying my HAIR (What I have left of it) and GOATEE BEARD. (PERMINANT) and keeping it again for 3 weeks like this.
This year I am going for BRIGHT GREEN (Orville The Duck Colour) to match the Macmillan Logo and my Goatee will be Dyed BRIGHT BLUE (To Match Our Club Colour)
Our Club is www.Bofa4x4.co.uk
I will keep you all informed of what is going on and I will post some amusing pictures so that you can see how I look with the Green and Blue Colours ;-)
If any of you would like to see this in person then I will be at the Abingdon 4x4 festival doing the Off-road course scrutineering. information found here :- http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1272206108/new
If anyone decides they would like to donate any little amount of money towards my fund raising event then we have a JustGiving club page set up, you can also keep tabs on what money we have raise up to date and our finishing total in March 2011.
If you are a UK taxpayer then please (tick) the Gift Aid box and the government will put an extra 28% towards your gifted amount. (So a £2.00 donation it makes £2.56) Every little helps..
To make a donation please visit the site below, when it asks for a personal message please put " IN SUPPORT OF SIMON WARNER - FROM AN OMEGA CLUB MEMBER" or something like that.... :-)

Hahaha!.....`love the idea; good on you! :y
When I read the O.P title, I was reminded of the worst chat up line that anyone ever drunkenly said to me in my youth: "Do you fancy doing 'it' for charity?" ;D
Erm ::) [size=16]No![/size].....you can go and 'donate' on your own!! ;D
-
A worthy cause, good on you :y

Well only 14 days to do until all my hair changes GREEN and beard changes BLUE in colour.
So far I have collected £225 in donations to do this again this year.
I have now a good beard grown and I am sure that in the next 2 weeks it is going to be much thicker so the BLUE will definately stand out.
I will keep you posted on photos on the day it gets done.
Or you can see it for real at the Abingdon 4x4 Show ;-)
