A Hairy Challenge

For those of you who know my good friend Steven Southworth, this won't surprise you.

Steven is generous, creative and slightly evil. He has generously offered to donate $50 per day of riding. The trip is 50 days, with a few rest days, assuming I make it the whole way. Do the math. He has offered to double the donation to $100 per day if someone else donates $50 per day.

However, there's a catch. (This is the creative and slightly evil aspect.) I can't shave for the entire 50 days of the trip, and I have to post pictures of myself periodically on this blog. I have a very light beard. It is also extremely patchy. Hence, I look like a diseased cat with only patchs of fur when I let my beard grow. Also, since it grows slowly, the itchy phase stretches on for weeks. However, I will endure the look and feel if someone takes Steven up on his offer.

Here's your chance to double your impact at the school and cause me grief. What could be better?
