IT takes months to grow a decent beard but only minutes to shave it off, so it helps when there’s a good reason behind getting a clip.
Raising money for the Leukaemia Foundation is about as good a reason as there is, and Ben Wellington of Sheparton Marketplace’s Gloria Jeans and proud former owner of a ripper beard, has raised more than $2,000 for the vital charity through his act of radical cosmetic change.
Ben was attended to by Shepparton Marketplace’s Just Cuts team in public earlier this month, along with several other brave souls who volunteered themselves for a serious trim in the centre of the shopping centre.
$642 was raised on the day as part of Shepparton Marketplace’s Greatest Shave, topping tallies recorded from 2015 to 2018.
