Story

I am Pledging to continue to grow my beard and shave it off in September in an effort to raise Funds for Bears of Hope. The last time I was cleanly shaved was Beards of Hope 2020.

 

I am doing this again in 2024 as I personally know the pain a family goes through when you loose a baby.

Our first Born son George was born sleeping on the 16/12/2018, this was a major shock and life changing event for myself and my wife and our family and friends. With the support and information from Bears of Hope, friends and family we were able to learn to function normally again with the memory of George always with us.

We raise funds to try and make another family who is going through the worst possibly time of the life's journey that little bit easier.

Every dollar raised will help support bereaved Dads and their families, if you can spare $1 or $1000 please do.

For over 10 years, Bears Of Hope have supported many families across Australia during their time of need. Bears of Hope’s mission is to provide ongoing comfort, support and counselling to parents and families who have experienced the loss of a baby during pregnancy, birth or infancy.

Click ‘Donate’ to support my efforts by making a secure donation, you can also post a message of support! All donations over $2 are tax deductible, a receipt will be sent to you via your nominated email. Your donation will help keep our vital support services available at no cost to bereaved Dads and their families.

Thank you for the support!
