It is with some admitted trepidation that I approach my first clean shave in roughly 25 years!! (My wife & children are scared.)

But I'm committed to doing my best to muster a mean salt & pepper 'stache of hopefully epic proportions, exceeding expectations of the most discerning Selleck Society statesmen, and making mustachioed mountain men cower in shame at the sight of my marvelous fur-covered upper lip.

My hope to achieve fantastic follicular facial forestry is matched only by my belief in the mission and selfless service of Camp Conrad Chinnock's people and programs. What we raise this month will have a tangible positive effect on the lives of countless kids & families who are dealing with the impact and uncertainty of Type 1 diabetes.

With the assistance of my 13 year old son, my chin and upper lip will soon soak in the Eastern Sierra sun, as my naked face feels unfiltered 8200ft crisp Sierra air for the first time in decades.

Thank you for your generosity,
Chris "Silver Swanson" 'Stachebauer
