OK everyone, I need your help.
Do you remember this photo?
Do you remember this photo?
Well, shortly after recieving this, I forwarded it to some guys in my office in an email that might've insinuated that this was a challenge. I mean, people in AFGHANISTAN that DON'T EVEN KNOW ME shaved their heads in support! Shouldn't all these tough farmer guys I work with shave their heads too?!?!
Bwahahahahahahaha! (that's my evil laugh... because cancer has made me slightly evil)
However, there was a little resistance. My old boss was like "all for one, one for all, this means the girls have to shave their heads too!" Well the only girl on the team is getting married in September... and no girl wants to be bald. And certainly doesn't want to be growing her hair out in time for her WEDDING.
In his defense, he is almost 50 and has a full head of hair. Shaving your head at that age when you're not even close to bald is kind of like defacing the Mona Lisa. He's like the white unicorn of the late 40s crowd... the man with hair. So I get his hesitancy.
However, my old team took him to happy hour, fed him a drink or two and got him to agree to shaving his head.
BUT before he'll shave his head, we have to raise $2500 for cancer during the month of March.
Yes... he's a wily old man. He put a time limit on it.
So, while I have no doubt that we'll be able to raise this amount, I thought I'd ask for your help.
PLEASE SEND MONEY!
I REALLY WANT TO SEE HIM BALD. I'm pretty sure this will give me at least one laugh per day for as long as it takes his hair to grow out. AND I get to be the one to shave his head. There will be photos. Many, many photos.
Is it bad that I look forward to this with so much glee? I've been smiling all week since he told me he'd do this if he got approval from our boss.
I do get to choose the charity that this goes to. I haven't made any decisions yet. If you know me, you know that I have a need to research things. I want to take some time and research charities to A) ensure it's something I want to support and B) make sure it is a highly reputable charity with a high % of their donations going back out the door to the promised cause. I do promise to you that I don't take this decision lightly and 100% of what is sent to me will go towards that charity.
So as far as donations go, we're gonna do this old school. Yep, using postal mail. Because I'm not sure how to sign up for PayPal as a charitable cause and all that jazz.
If you'd like to donate, please send cash/check/lots of quarters and change to me at:
1535 Meyer Lane
North Mankato, MN 56003
Just remember, seeing this man bald is vital to my continued happines. OK maybe not vital. But it sure would make me laugh! Have I laid on the guilt too think? :)
