We are six days away from Lip Hair Because We Care, a fundraising event to benefit a charity that works to improve the self-esteem of girls with cancer. I am growing a mustache to compete in The Glorious ManPageant on this coming Saturday, November 3 at 7:00pm. To recap, I’m trying to emulate Mike Ditka, and will compete against other mustachioed men dressed as their personal mustache heros.

The picture above is three weeks of mustache growth. Yes, that’s weeks, not days. Can’t see it? Click for a bigger photo. It’s under my nose. Yeah, right there. This is the most facial hair I’ve ever had, so I’m at a slight disadvantage compared to my noble opponents. But with your help, we can put together an impressive bundled donation to the charity.

As of today, I’ve raised $50 from 4 people. Thanks to you who have donated! For those who haven’t yet donated, listen closely. If you’re in DC this Saturday, come to Tom Tom at 7pm for drinks and debauchery and donate $10 at the door. If you can’t make it, can you consider giving $10 to benefit the charity? You can give me cash or a check in person, or you can donate online—don’t forget write to the email address on that page and say your donation is for my mustache.

Thanks for your support! Email me with any questions.
