WOMEN: Support men in this; many rallied for breast cancer awareness in October. Not having to perform this grooming routine each morning leaves more time for for men to run! According to the organization’s website, “No-Shave November is a month-long journey during which participants forgo shaving and grooming in order to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness.” If someone is rude enough to suggest that having more facial hair is not a flattering style for you (or your man), righteously inform them that you are/he is doing it not for personal benefit but for others that have suffered and will suffer with cancer. “The goal of No-Shave November is to grow awareness by embracing our hair, which many cancer patients lose, and letting it grow wild and free. Donate the money you typically spend on shaving and grooming to educate about cancer prevention, save lives, and aid those fighting the battle.” Actually trimming and grooming is allowed, so you don’t need to go totally native. If you started Novemebr 1, strong work! If not; stop shaving this weekend! RUN HAPPY! https://no-shave.org/ (post updated from October 2016)
