Thanks to Richard's job (and their crazy competitions)… he has carried on this tradition for a few years now. Last year, he became Abraham Lincoln. Yeah, that happened.
This year though, we wanted to understand a little more behind the whole phenomenon. So we took to extensive research… also known as "the google".
Here's what we found:
No Shave November – Not just mustaches
and not even just beards; women can even elect to not shave their legs! Oh my!
The idea is to forgo shaving (and therefore not purchase
your typical allotment of shaving supplies for the month of November), and
donate the money you save to cancer research. It's celebrating the ability to grow hair (something some cancer
patients aren't able to do) while also saving money to donate to research.

We were also curious about this:
Movember – grow a mustache to "change the face of men's health awareness"
People can grow a mustache and also donate to research for various men's health research causes (like prostate cancer research)
Pretty cool concept, right? Since Richard's beard was in line with No Shave November, we donated to the American Cancer Society. Check out their portal, it's pretty neat.
Just wait though. Richard's job doesn't hold their annual competition until February. So I'm sure he still has plans…even though I talked him into shaving at the end of November. I just know that it will return. In the meantime, here is what I had to put up with. :)
