When I was younger and in school, there were very few things that interested me. But those that did manage to hold my attention have somehow stuck with me for 24-some odd years. These included Music, Writing, Facial Hair, and Ice Cream Sundaes. So naturally when I heard about 'Mustaches for Kids,' I jumped on the chance to participate.

When I was younger and in school, there were very few things that interested me. But those that did manage to hold my attention have somehow stuck with me for 24-some odd years. These included Music, Writing, Facial Hair, and Ice Cream Sundaes. So naturally when I heard about 'Mustaches for Kids,' I jumped on the chance to participate. It's a great cause that combines three-fourths of my lifelong interests (next year we'll have an ice cream social....I'll see to it that this happens). I guess what I'm trying to say here is that I'm glad to help out with Mustaches for Kids and I'd be forever thankful if you would help out, too! It's a great cause and it would mean a whole heckuva lot to a lot of youngins. So please, if you can donate anything to this great cause, you'd be making a whole lot of kids happy. And you want to make a whole lot of kids happy, don't you? Plus, for everyone who donates to this, I'll (probably not) send you an autographed 8x10 of myself WITH mustache. THANKS A LOT, GUYS! ~ DereK hide
