Day 1


This first post will be to give you a little background on who I am, and why I am doing this.

Plain and simple, my Godson has a very rare form of cancer. As you can imagine, this greatly disturbs me, and I am unwilling to sit idly by as he fights the toughest battle of his life. So, being of very limited mental capabilities...I am growing a beard to cure cancer. WHAT?!? How can a beard cure anything besides my wife's joy of kissing me? Well, the beard is the sizzle, the money I am hoping to raise is the steak. I am asking everyone who is willing, to donate at least $1 a day to Phoenix Children's Hospital for every day I don't shave. I will continue to grow the beard until he is cured.

Pretty simple right? The kids get a little more clink in the coffer and you all get to watch me transform in to some kind of furball freak. All for $1 a day. A lot of you spend $6 a day on Starbucks or some variation on the theme. What does that net you? A little buzz, stanky breath, and the feeling that you have been ripped off. With me, I promise you a good laugh, and a warm cozy feeling. So if you have to cut back to only a few cups a week, I promise to make it worth your while.

I am taking no donations directly, just click on the PCH link to the right and they will take care of the rest. Make your donations as you want, but please just make ANY donation. It may be your donation that funds critical research that discovers the cure for this horrible disease. Think about how cool it would be to say you played a part in the cure. Then think about how uncool it would feel to say you played no part. Egads...no one needs that on their conscience.

So, sit back open your wallet, and watch my beard grow.
