ITD staff member Conrad White is raising money for the Leukaemia Foundation, and you can help him. For those who haven’t met Conrad, he sports an impressive set of mutton chop sideburns and a moustache, which he proposes to mirror on the back of his head along with eyebrows and a face, if only he gets enough sponsors. The more money he raises, the longer he will keep this amazing forward-reverse man look. If he receives more than $872.47 in donations he will keep his bizarre haircut for a whole month.
