Like Movember but in reverse. The idea is that in the time leading up to St. Patricks Day you raise money for cancer charities and on the designated day (before or after st patricks depending on when or if your area hold an event for it) you shave your head bald.
It's a good cause and doing something as trivial as going bald is the least you can do.

Cool idea.
Sadly, I AM a Pisces and am therefore apparently excluded.

Excuse me....but what is this desecration of my national holiday? Nothing can overshadow St. Patricks day!
I propose a holiday to fight against cancer. On Thanksgiving you will have to wear a hat made out of a speckled hen and hop on one foot while singing a random assortment of sea shanties.
[SPOILER:57ac6e7d5f]If you don't realise that this is a shit joke you have no soul. Any way to raise money for charity is good but i will not be taking part in the shaving. I will probably donate[/SPOILER:57ac6e7d5f]

I'll pass on the shaving, I will definitely donate. Probably not for a week or two, as I am a little light on the monies at the moment.

Why is everyone so against cancer? It is a natural thing.

Shaving your head for charity is good. Kudos to you, sir.
