Beardathon

PDSA vet’s ‘furry’ good idea for Plymouth pets

Plymouth’s Senior Vet, Robert Newcombe is taking a lead role in raising funds for the Plymouth pet hospital appeal .

Robert started growing a beard on 1st January and has pledged not to shave again until the doors are open of the new PetAid hospital which is due to open in September.
Robert, notorious amongst his colleagues and pet patients for his clean shaven appearance, said: “Building work has now begun on the new hospital, but there is still some way to go to reach our fundraising target and equip the facility. So I’m growing a sponsored beard, and I hope that the pet owners and animal lovers of Plymouth will support me and make a donation towards our Pet Hospital Appeal.”
Donations can be taken or sent to the existing PDSA PetAid hospital in Durnford Street, Plymouth or donated via www.justgiving.com/RobertNewcombe-Beardathon.

Please do not be put off by this amount - if you ask everybody you know to sponsor you, you will find you can quite easily raise the minimum £395 sponsorship and remember, every penny you raise over the minimum will be further contributing to PDSA and giving you the chance to make an exhilarating freefall parachute jump for FREE!
