No-Shave November is a unique way to raise cancer awareness. The goal is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose. Donate the money you usually spend on shaving and grooming for a month to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting this awful battle with cancer. Locks of love is a worthy cause to provide hair to make wigs for cancer patients. Visit: http://locksoflove.org/ to find out more information.
