With the exception of a few short years, I have had a beard for the last 30 years.  For me, it has become one of my most distinguishing physical features.  I am the big guy with the big bushy beard.   In fact, I was a contestant in the New Jersey Beard and Mustache Contest, and played Santa Clause at the Fear Factory Haunted House. To paraphrase: This is my beard.  There are many like it, but this one is mine. My beard is my constant friend. My beard, without me, is useless. Without my beard, I am useless. On March 15th 2015, I will shave my hair AND my beard to raise funds for Childhood Cancer.  Please consider donating to help. 

From St Baldricks: I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.

Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
