Default I'm Going Bald for World Cancer Day!

Hello CalgaryPuck!

I have decided to go bald for World Cancer Day on February 4th (Thursday!). I'll be shaving my head and my beard off!

I am participating in a campaign called #NoHairSelfie. I'm raising funds in support of the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.

I had a modest initial goal of $100 which has been shattered and my fundraising currently sits at $375.

There are three stretch goals which should be entertaining if reached:

- $500 and I shave my chest.
- $1000 and I shave my legs.
- $1250 and out comes the wax and things get real smooth (my legs! Get your mind out of the gutter!).

For those who don't know me... I'm fairly hairy guy. Decent beard too... as seen below:




If you would like to donate to my baldening and support cancer research, click this banner to visit my #NoHairSelfie page:




A HUGE thank you to everyone who donates!


If you can't or would rather not donate, consider joining me in showing solidarity with those affected by cancer? Might be fun.

Finally, a huge thank you to the moderators for supporting me in posting this.

When shaving my head cures anything I'll give my grey hairs to charity, until then I'll try a little money and hope it works just as well.

I've always wanted to shave my head just once but I don't think I can pull off the look as I would look like the Italian Mr. Clean.

I'd rather donate without registering on the site. Can I send you something through PayPal or Interac?

lol, your head must be cold! I remember after a Movember shaving my beard off and going outside for the first time and being blown away by how cold my face felt. Losing both a beard and your hair must feel weird.

Good on ya!

Oh....and I think you could legitimately pull off a monocle with the new look.
