At class tonight, Dr. Sean mentioned something called Mustaches vs Cancer, a 2 month mustache-a-thon in which donations are given to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
If you do consider donating, I’d appreciate it if you did so under my name (although, honestly, it’s for charity, so as long as you’re doing it, I’m cool). Now, if I do win, I get a custom made bobble head of myself with my awesome mustache. And lots of money goes to people who can use it.
Questions about the donations can be found here, including information about tax deductions and stuff like that. Other questions, and more information can be found here, and also by simply googling the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.
Cancer is a killer. It’s taken several lives and forever changed many more in my family. My MIL is a breast cancer survivor who was told that her cancer is “treatable but not curable,” whatever that means. I have several cousins who have died from cancer and several more who continue to battle it as it recurs. I know that most, if not all of you share similar stories. So, seriously, please consider a few dollars toward the cause, and if you get a laugh out of my pathetic mustachio, more’s the better. Maybe I’ll try to work out the handlebar mustache….
At first I thought this would be related to Movember.
I have been sooooo tempted to do that in the past, because with my Turkish genes, I can grow a beard pretty fast.
Over the course of a month, I'm sure I could get a bad ass handlebar or something like that, but I somehow doubt my girlfriend would be too keen on the castro clone version of slideyfoot.
If you're looking for some inspiration, checkout the Movember Lab.
I'll check it out, Slideyfoot. And I hear you about the genes. While I've had trouble keeping hair on my head, I have no trouble with hair any place else. I'm curious to see how much of a stache I get in a little less than two months.
After reading your post I mentioned this idea to my wife. Unfortunately, a prank I pulled during the days leading up to our wedding where I grew an admittedly sweet mustache has now made it impossible for me to ever grow one again with her blessing. So, I just sent in a humble donation. Good luck!
Caleb. Thank you VERY much. While it would have been very cool to have another BJJ guy in the contest, I appreciate the donation!
