I will be doing the TERRY FOX 5K Run for Cancer Research on November 15th...I am raising money/soliciting donations from all my friends....Part of the fun is we also have a "shaving party" on November 13th.

I will post pictures...I am pledging to shave my beard (which is massive) and possibly my head, legs, whatever depending on how many people request it. If you wish to donate, please email me, we can arrange it thru Paypal or some other form...thank you to all in advance.

Thank you to those that sent me donations.

In all, we raised over $8000 here on my camp.

The shave off was a success and we even had 3 women shave their heads as well.

The 5K was fun but very cold. We ran at 0630 and the temp was in the low 30s in addition to the dusty conditions and the fact the course went around our burn pit which was just nasty to breathe.

Again I thank you and I will post some pictures soon.
