    I promised last year that if my fundraising goal was doubled I would not shave for an entire year. Through your support I tripled my initial goal! And yes I have not trimmed the length of my beard since pre July 2025…… Which means my goals need to change, as well as my promises. Here we go if I hit my set goal, I go clean shaven (all baby face). $2,000 over goal I will have friendly MASSIVE mutton chops for an entire month.( friendly means I leave the mustache) $5,000 Over and I will let you all pick the style and leave it for an entire month. IF I hit $10,000 over my set goal (25K!) I will CONTINUE to not trim until 2027 Agony! Overall I can say I have NOT enjoyed having my beard this long,(both length and time) but I have been able to have so many more conversations with people who nothing of CER because of it, bringing awareness of this great organization and people who are saving lives. 100% worth the discomfort, just like the ride itself.

a HUGE thank you to all my sponsors! this organization truly changes lives and gives young adults freedom they didn't know existed. I am thankful to be a part of it in this way and thankful you have joined me in sponsorship and encouragement!

As always, I do something crazy…. Every year I usually shave my face completely if I reach my fundraising goal. I am keeping that promise to all my sponsors, however this year there is a twist, if you help me DOUBLE my fundraising goal I will not cut the length of my beard until the 2026 Agony ride! Current length is approximately 3” from the bottom of my chin. (don’t worry, I will keep everything trimmed save the length to look at least mostly professional at work)
