Destiny Awaits us! 48hrs!

T-minus 48 hours.On the brink of something unprecedented. With the generosity of so many friends and family, we've funded 19 classroom projects in under-resourced public schools throughout the US. Over $8,200 of much needed supplies getting to kids in struggling neighborhoods.And also, thanks to so many, I'm #1 fundraiser in San Francisco currently out of 60 mustache growers. But there's a #2 on my tail, only a couple hundred dollars behind me. And up ahead, the possibility of being the #1 grower and growing team in the country.Let's make history people. Help some amazing kids and show them what friends can do when they unite for something good!

raising $2600 in 15mins - shaving my head @ work

mustache exploits

Has it only been three weeks since I embarked on this adventure? Am I truly the same person who set path on this perilous journey so many days ago? Clearly not. My life-- and my upper lip-- have changed considerably.

I feel like a boy gone to a man. A fuller human being. I've grown a manly, respectable mustache for the first time in my adult life, met and come to know many a man from all walks of life that dances the top lip party, and shaved my head bald to get a good portion of what I have been able to raise to date.

And the results have been staggering. Almost $8,000 raised. Fully funded 18 technology projects for public school classrooms-- equipment that the teachers themselves request. Giving kids their first access to computers. Kids whose only disadvantage is where they grew up.

A tremendous thanks to all who have given so generously to get us to this point. And a enthusiastic request for those who have not to check out these projects and chip in for these kids' educational future.

One thousand follicles of thanks,
Ahmad
