At dinner, my beautiful wife Sarah made the suggestion that she would match my donations if I shave it all off today.  At the start of this month, Lena had been asking “When do we pay you to shave it off?” Today is apparently the day.

I failed at my goal of growing a mustache for the full month of november, but when I could double the $611 I raised, I had to have some serious consideration.  After consulting with my mo bro, Chad, taking off the mustache was the right thing to do for the fund raising aspect of men’s health and in the spirit of Movember.

The fact that I looked like a 15 year old miscreant with what little mustache I could grow is just icing on the cake. At the end of this post are three photos detailing the end of the mustache and the early termination of Movember.  I do not regret any of it, but given how poorly my facial hair comes in, I think I’m unlikely to do it again.

At this point in time, I’ve raised $1,222 for men’s health issues to fight prostate cancer and testicular cancer.  There is still time, as these are excellent things to raise money for! I like all my man parts and I aim to keep them!  If you want to donate, please do!  http://mobro.co/ktgeek

Special and awesome thanks to Ana for donating! 2 more days to go, get your donation in now and be awesome like Ana!  http://mobro.co/ktgeek  With her donation and one from Jason, I’m at $586.  It would be awesome to break 600. (More awesome would be $1000, but I’m being realistic.)

To celebrate, Ana (and everyone else) gets a “I’m at the orthodontist” picture!

I’m almost at the end of Movember, and its gone about as well as I thought it would.  At this point, I’ll start accepting donations to shave it off!  This is one of my final pleas! http://mobro.co/ktgeek

I said this last week, and Linky picked it up, my stache looks like the one on that dude from Napoleon Dynamite.  I’m in the tail half of the month and could really use your help to raise more cash to aid in the fight for men’s health!  http://mobro.co/ktgeek

Movember continues.  My mustache is about what I thought it would be.  But hey, keep me going by donating! http://mobro.co/ktgeek

This is pretty pathetic. But hey, I’ll take pity donations! http://mobro.co/ktgeek

And so #Movember begins!
