No Shave November

You might have noticed the guys on The Today Show look a little scruffy these days, as in they all lost their collective razors.

If you missed the announcement on Nov. 1, the male cast members and crew have taken a vow to not shave during the month in honor of No Shave November. The goal of this effort, according to the website noshavenovember.com, is to raise awareness "...by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free.  Donate the money you usually spend on shaving and grooming for a month to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle."

I'd never heard of No Shave November before learning about it on The Today Show, and it seems like a worthwhile effort to raise awareness about cancer, particularly among males. However, I don't plan to let my facial hair grow, but will follow the other suggestion on the website and donate to the American Cancer Society anyway.

  3. I thought it was worthwhile to promote this, Meari. Vicky, I didn't participate, so no pictures from this end.
