Photo Story Friday - Movember

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek


Have you ever heard of Movember?
I hadn't until this year when DadOf3 participated. Some guys got together at his workplace and grew beards/mustaches for charity. It is an organized effort to raise money for the fight against prostate cancer. A lot of the guys went out and solicited donations for the hair growing efforts. DadOf3 lucked out this year. Each participant paid some money to join in on the fun. DadOf3 won two different drawings! He donated all of his winnings back to the cause. The night before judging, DadOf3 had to cut back his beard to some sort of mustache. He liked the beard and he was sad to cut it.

If you are a guy, don't neglect to get your PSA numbers checked at your annual doctor appointment! And if you don't get an annual check-up - this is a great time to start!

Here is a picture of the full beard look. I think he looks very much like a professor!

Cut #1 - just a little off of the chin.
Cut #2 - a little bit more!

And a little more!

And the final look!


He is currently re-growing the part he shaved!

I'm glad mine isn't the only husband who likes to play while shaving off his winter growth! It's great when you can have fun and support a good cause all at the same time.

What a cool idea...there is so much more fun to be had with this beard!!! What a great way to entertain and build awareness!

Love the workout thing at the top of your blog...might have to try it. Maybe public monitoring will shame me!
