I’m excited to take part in this choose your own adventure style challenge while supporting the community as well as the Movember foundation. All for our efforts of bringing awareness to men’s health, both physical and mental. I may not be the poster child for either, but I can at least participate for a good cause. My challenges for the month are taking the path of Option 2 1. Donate to the cause: [Movember - Home](https://movember.com/m/15191532?mc=1) 2. In order to mimic the natural growth of the lip caterpillars, I propose a Grower/Shower YoYo Challenge! Starting with a shorter string, I will increase the length by 1-foot every week and show results 3. Light a yoyo on fire (still don’t recommend doing this) - ✅ 4. Start the beard from scratch, grow it out unencumbered. Bonus: End the month with a killer mo for a grand finale. Good luck to all, I look forward to seeing some of the other shenanigans we all will get up to, and **let the festivities begin**! Side Note: YouTube doesn’t like yoyo’s on fire apparently, so you might have to sign in to see it, lol.
