TEACHER GROWS A TASH FOR MEN’S HEALTH AWARENESS

A teacher at Windlesham House School in Washington has been inspired by a moustache movement to raise money for a brain tumour charity.

Alex Armstrong, who was also a pupil at the school, got involved with Movember, a moustache growing charity event held every November that raises funds and awareness for men’s health.

Alex has now raised more than £200 for the Hugh McDermott Childhood Brain Tumour Charity. 16 year old Hugo died after battling against a high grade brain tumour.

Hugo’s brother, Ed, set up the organisation and enlisted the help of his friend, Alex Armstrong, to help raise funds.

Headmaster of Windlesham House School, Richard Foster, said: “This is a wonderful charity and we are delighted that Mr Armstrong has been raising money and awareness for such a worthwhile cause.”
