Campaigners pleased that the beard is playing a role in Michael Rosen’s recovery
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that it is pleased that author and Arsenal fan Michael Rosen is continuing to make progress in what promises to be unfortunately, a very long road to recovery from COVID-19.
The campaigners say that it is clear that key roles are being played by NHS staff, his family and his own regular exercises.
However, Rosen, who was voted Beard of Summer 2020 by BLF supporters a few weeks ago, tweeted on Friday that his beard was also helping out:
New personal best: 50 minute walk including mini-jogs. Beard to the fore at all times @michaelrosenyes
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we are pleased that Michael’s long road to recovery is getting results and that his award winning beard is playing a role. In particular with the beard follicles appropriately aligned they can slightly enhance the speed of his regular walks against wind resistance. It gives important expression to the term, ‘beard power’.
