Donate to help me raise much-needed funds for #menshealth this #Movember – for all the dads, brothers, sons and mates in our lives. Stop men dying too young. When I receive half my target donation, I'm shaving the beard and keeping only the moustache ;-)

I'm always amazed at how children can be engaged and motivated when they met inspiring people. Today we had the privilege to enjoy the talent of illustrator Garry Parsons @ICanDrawDinos in our primary school @EcolintGeneva
