If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting the members of the Team Run, you may have realised that several members of the team have large hair. This is not because we are all outrageously cool. This is because on a Friday night in the depth of the British winter, four of the team members were sitting around having a few beers and with clarity of mind, we decided we would not cut our hair until the run had been completed. So, given that the 4 of us made the deal in February, it will have been at least 8 months since we'd have a haircut, once the run is complete.
The choice to deprive ourselves of the simple pleasure of a haircut was made when the idea to run 700km was in its infancy. There has been a lot of banter about the run, but it is now most definately serious. Even Donkey Kong would say it's on.
It may be worth reminding people we plan to raise 5,000 pounds for CRASH (www.crash.org.uk). At the moment we have raised 123 pounds + the addition of gift aid. This is around 1 twientieth of what we need. We have a way to go yet!
So, I, Shannon McKenzie, have a further offer to make, subject to team approval. For every 200 pounds over 3,000 pounds that we raise, I will not cut my hair for a further month. This is to a limit of 6,000 pounds. A further 15 months past September without a haircut.
Disclaimer: The above offer is subject to team approval. It may also be worth running the idea past management. Not every company wants Chewbecca working for them.
