No Shave November

McKay decided he wanted to participate in No Shave November.  I asked him if he knew the purpose of No Shave November and he said, "No.  You just don't have to shave."  So I explained to him that No Shave November is men's cancer awareness and told him that if he was going to participate by not shaving, then he had to do it with a purpose.  He was given two choices to be able to participate: donate some money to cancer research, or get a colonoscopy.  After learning what a colonoscopy was, he decided to donate money.

This was towards the end of the month.  Grandma Haacke thought it would be fun if they had matching beards.

This is the end result.  (Looks like he is giving a death stare.)  He was very proud of his beard and sad to see it go.  He is already looking forward to next year's No Shave November.
