Photos of Mark Carras shaving his head for Locks of Love!

October 11th, 2008 by Mark Carras

So I made a challenge that if 1,000 stories made it to the front of this site before October 1st I would shave my head for LocksOfLove.org. Well, thanks to everyone for making that happen. I especially would like to thank NowSourcing.com/blog for giving the campaign a last minute surge that made sure we made our goal. Without Brian’s help we would not have made it. I would also like to thank the amazing crew at the Lacey WA Fantastic Sam’s. They not only let me stream the whole thing live with zero resistance, but seemed to be more excited than any sane group of hairstylists would have been. Their insanity made me feel at home. I have not been to a hairstylist since my age was in single digits, but I might start going to them because of their great attitude. Thanks ladies!

So we did stream the event live, but my Verizon EV_DO wireless internet USB connection could not seem to get a good connection inside the building for some reason. I know outside I could get an amazingly fast connection, so it was the building. So it ended up only giving what looked like 3 still shots for those watching it live. Not sure any of the audio came through at all. So we do not have any video. However, while streaming it live the Queen Of Cheese was there taking photos for us. So below are the before and after photos of the entire thing.

Before I show the photos can I ask a favor? I made a rather massive sacrifice for a very good cause. I would love to continue to do altruistic events like this through this site, but I can’t do it without some help. So please do what you can to help us spread the word about this site and we will do what we can to keep up connecting the site to positive causes. Deal?
