Bearded Record Holder from Dnipro to Shave for $1 Million Military Fundraiser.

Fundraising Campaign for Frontline Support

According to TSN.ua: Dmytro Grunsky, a resident of Dnipro, has launched a campaign to raise 1 million Ukrainian hryvnias for military needs, vowing to ceremonially shave his beard once the goal is met. The funds will go to the 'Vovkodavy' unit of the 57th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade.

Grunsky is widely recognized for his athletic feats and world records. In 2025, he lifted a 64.4 kg weight using only his beard, one of many extraordinary accomplishments. Back in 2023, he towed a 2.5-ton volunteer minibus, showcasing his immense strength and endurance.

Dmytro Grunsky's Achievements

To date, Grunsky holds 12 official Guinness World Records and 20 national records. His notable stunts include:

• Bending coins with his teeth
• Towing a 32-ton metro car using a steel cable

This fundraising effort represents another chapter in his ongoing commitment to supporting Ukraine during challenging times.

Grunsky's campaign highlights the active role of civil society in Ukraine amid the war, where every contribution helps sustain the military.

Such initiatives also raise awareness about the army's needs and draw attention to critical social issues. It is inspiring to see people leveraging their unique talents and resources to make a difference during wartime.
