Story

Hey everyone! Thank you for stopping by my charity page! I'm Roy! A friendly fur from Minnesota who thought of a fun way to try and raise some funds for charity this fall season. Normally this time of year we're thinking about friends and family, and being thankful for all the things we have, and all our loved ones in our lives. And this charity will hopefully add to that thanks. After learning more about ALS earlier this year from the passing of Dog Bomb, the desease came more to my attention, and I wanted to do something in a way to honor him and his memory. And since there are plenty of others out there who are suffering from ALS right now. Loved ones who we may even know, it's with high hopes that with donations from wonderful people like you that we can find a cure.

So, that's where November comes in. Typically this month is a time for Men's health and mental awareness. And while I would like to eventually do donations for both (maybe next year), I specifically wanted to do this November's no-shave challenge for the fur's out there and for the ALS Association. Your donation will go directly to them and will help to find a cure. As for me? I'm going to go one whole month without a shave, and with my folically gifted face, it's probably going to get rather bushy. Additionally, for the fun of it. There will be artwork along the way (I for certain have to get my sona involved in this too!). So make sure you watch for updates!

With each $200 we raise. I'll release a new step to my sona, and on top of that. Each week I will post a check up of my actual face. With a picture of each mornings scruff to time lapse for you all. In addition, I'll be giving the top donor the choice of what my look shall be come December. Weather you force me into a goatee, mutton chops, or something else, I'll wear that look proudly for a week or two (that is until my beard grows back in again).

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm going to leave the last little blurb about their site in the next paragraph.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

If you appreciate the artwork that helped to bring this campaign to life. Please consider checking out @solydraws on twitter as she is my wonderful artist who helped me out with the cover and transformation progress shots of my sona! Go give her a follow or maybe a tip if you appreciate her artwork :)
