Three months in, the beards are becoming more impressive as Whangaparāoa Community Constable Sam Webb and School Community officer Bryan Ward say no to shaving in order to raise money for charity.
The pair, based at Whangaparāoa Police station, threw away the razors and began their Forget Me Not project on July 9 (HM August 1) to raise awareness about dementia, as well as fundraise for Alzheimers NZ.
So far they have raised $585 and Bryan says there have been some great connections made with Alzheimers support groups and the general public along the way.
September 21 was World Alzheimers Day and Bryan says they both got lots of comments on that day about the beards.
The big shave off happens on December 10 at 10am.
