Mustaches vs Cancer

[Steve]

Hey guys. I signed up for mustaches vs cancer, a two month long mustach-a-thon and charity fundraiser for the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

The idea is, I start clean shaven, which is something my coworkers can attest is a rarity for me. Then, as I cultivate a magnificent mustache (no beards, no goatees... only 100%, 1970's era goodness here, folks) I convince people to kick in a few dollars to help the good people at MSKCC in their work to research cures and treat cancer. In return for your kind hearted, charitable donation, I will continue to grow this mustache, posting regular pictures (at least weekly) and probably looking pretty damned silly in the process.

Please take a look and consider tossing a few dollars into the pot. I posted more details and links to things like tax information and such on my blog.

Here's my first, clean shaven picture:

Thanks, guys.

The Sloan Kettering center is awsome. They have been for years working on helping people with cancer. When the locals were unable to diagnose the type of cancer my mom had, it was sent to an Air force center where they thought they could take a crack at it, and after they failed, Sloan Kettering took the case. The diagnose it, and they also worked with my family to get my mother out there ASAP for surgery and treatment plans. The drugs she was on in the early 80's were used in the mid 90's as the first line everyone gets as they help. The data came from helping people like my mother.


Steve,

I pledge $20 now sight unseen to (y)our cause that you are supporting. I will PM you for information on how to get you the funds.

With most guys, a bit of facial hair makes them look more foreboding, but you actually look more threatening when clean shaven. For what it's worth.

Really? I'm not quite sure what to make of that. Err. Thanks? I am sure, however, that I look pretty silly with a mustache.

Update #2 is posted at my blog. Still not a lot going on with the mustache, but it's only been 3 days.
