It’s been four weeks since I started growing this beard to raise funds for UCSD medical scholarships on behalf of Tyler Pardee (you can read the full story here). For every $25 that is donated to this cause, my ugly beard stays another day. It’s getting to the scratchy phase – let’s work together and see how ugly this beard can get!

Whether you donate or not, I ask that you please share the link below, and help spread the word. As of this writing, we’ve raised $377, which is a great start, and I thank you sincerely to all who have taken part. But right now, there are only enough donations to keep this beard going until Saturday! Please step in and give what you can. Who will be the next to ensure this beard stays on my face??

Update: The beard has been shaved! Close to $1,500 was raised, which will to go towards need-based medical scholarships. We sincerely appreciate all your help and support throughout this campaign!
