OK, so it's crunch time, the last day of November, your last chance to give. I have braved a month with this thing on my face, interviewed homicide detectives and commissioners, endured much ribbing from colleagues, and oddly enough, received compliments from random folks. Some people suggest I keep it...

Day 23: On Saturday, I interviewed the commissioner of the RCMP with this thing.

Day 15: My moustache has become a daily joke around the office, in the company of friends and family, even at crime scenes, and for good reason. That I am apparently unable to sport a 'stache without making people uncomfortable means it's more of a trial and therefore worthy of donations. Suffering for the cause.

Day 6: My moustache resembles wild rice. I feel kind of bad even calling it a moustache. Doing so seems insulting to my ancestors. It's important to note that I am making myself subject to significant derision from others, especially my smart-ass peers, sporting this abomination, which is to say, please give generously. It's worth it.

Day 3: I wanted to do this last year, but for whatever reason, abstained. This year I forgot to sign up, and actually shaved on Nov. 2nd, a day later than you're supposed to. I was then urged to participate by some good people on Twitter, and decided: yes, why not? I'm a day behind out of the starting gates, but that's alright. Methinks the moustache will look positively ridiculous in a month, and I can't wait to sport it in a scrum. - Ben
