Touching reason Ashley Cain won't shave his beard following daughter's death

Ex-footballer Ashley Cain said he won't shave his beard because his late daughter played with it before she died.

The ex-footballer recently took on a gruelling Super Athlete Challenge to raise funds for his daughter's charity, The Azaylia Foundation. The organisation helps battle childhood cancer and was created after he and his ex-partner, Safiyya Vorajee, lost their child shortly after she was born.

Ashley appeared on Good Morning Britain where he said he would do everything in his power to continuously support the charity and families affected by cancer. During their conversation, presenter Kate Garraway asked the 31-year-old to explain the touching reason he won't shave his striking beard, stating it has ties to his daughter.
