Mike does have that chin, I too think I stood in the wrong line

I'm trying to figure out how much of a commitment is involved. I have a lot on my plate, but would love to help a cause as awesome as this one. Could someone pm me a breakdown of what is expected/involved/required for me to sign up? I did a little digging but still haven't painted the whole picture. Thanks!

You've got an awesome memory...that's right, I remember that from last year....so now I need a chin like Mike's and a memory like yours, this gettin' old thing is....

I just signed up, and downloaded the app. Thanks and good luck to promoting/supporting a great cause!

I just shaved a full beard the other day, wish I'd had signed up sooner. It was an epic shave, mowing down some serious growth. Had to toss the first pass in the toilet so I didn't clog the sink!

You gents are good for a guy's confidence.

Truth be told, years back I had my head smashed all to pieces in a car accident and they rebuilt me slightly better looking than before, lol..
My jaw was split, right at the cleft, and when they re pinned me, I ended up with titanium reinforcements in there. No glass jaw here sir..
Most distinguished looking as I set off the metal detectors at the airport,,hehehe.

as much or as little commitment as you like, if you are going to mo, you need to clean shave on the 1st of november and then grow a stache of choice over the month, and get people to pay you to do it.

or, do a move challenge - set an exercise goal and then get people to pay you to do it, or just sponsor someone else/ bid on something in the auction.

Am I able to submit an item to auction, or how is that all working. I saw the section in the classifieds but haven't heard or read anything about it. Thanks for helping me!

I think mark explained it a bit earlier in this thread, it was his idea and he is looking after it, but you certainly can, after the 1st ☺

Like Ed says...you can do as much or as little as you like.
I used to mow (with clippers, not shave) my Mo down to nada for the start of Movember.
My Italian Barber Grandfather told me that he liked my mustache and that I should keep it...in the last conversation we had sitting in the back yard under his beloved orange trees. So I Mo in his honor every day.

And whenever someone says something about my Mo I bring up Movember and Men's health.
Some of those conversations can be moving.
Recently once of those talks lead to the person sharing that he was a cancer survivor, had lost his Son (31) and Sister to Cancer in the last year. His faith and attitude was amazing, and he mentioned that he could not find an outlet to share that story.
Doug (our Movember Bro) helped me connect him with his local Movember contact.

Anything and Everything you do helps.

Movember has some great "stuff" (Pins, hats, shirts and...drill down) https://us.shop.movember.com if you need some ideas..

It's like learning how to use a Straight Razor...take your time, put some effort in to it - the benefits just keep coming...
