Brotherly love

So….. 'Julian's Blue Mohican Dare' finally made it into the Leicester Mercury ; check out the article published on 30th April… and  'wowser' check out the cheesy picture ! lol!

True to his character , Julian came through and had his hair professionally  'Coiffured' and coloured by the 'amazing Emma Escudero', in preparation for the Dare!  

the buzz and the colour!

Emma kindly gave up her time and skills 'gratis', and despite  Emma emptying my beer fridge whilst waiting for  my 'tardy' brother (what was it  Julian???… errrrrr 3 and half hours!!), I'm pleased to say that Emma created a work of art!! 

The 'coiffure' evolved into a lovely day, with lots of visitors and giggles!! I had just had chemo 2 days before, and was feeling a little 'spaced'  so watching the comings and goings was like having live comedy T.V in my garden!! 

A particularly priceless moment was waving my brother off for his cycle ride home the next day (yes… he cycled to Northampton from Leicester for mohican mischief with his wing commander/cycling buddy!). The picture says it all… and the thought of him cycling all the way home with his blue beard still puts a 'smile on my face'…. mission completed bro!

So..with all the preparation done, Julian duly completed his dare by sporting his mohican hair do at  Leicester City's final match of the season on 3rd May! Leicester's win was just the icing on the cake for Julian !

Julian raised an incredible £419.01 during the course of this dare aswell as raising awareness. £120 of this was raised on the day during 'celebratory drinks time' …. Julian took a LGFB charity box out with him after the game and needless to say with his mohican , he attracted a lot of attention and donations.  Julian described how there was such an amazing response from people and how much he has personally got from doing the dare ! 

A big shout out for the lads from Ashby who made a generous donation!

Feel free to top up the pot!!
