The answer lies with his close friend Larry, who suffers from ALS – also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Ralph wanted to help his old friend and a local charity group collect donations to go toward research and treatment of the paralyzing illness.
Ralph’s efforts along with his special shaving beard ‘ceremony’ allowed him to collect over CDN$50,000. Now that’s what I call the perfect reason to suddenly change one’s appearance. Agree that it makes quite a big difference? Make sure you watch the video until the end when Ralph and Larry meet. But prepare the kleenex!
What a man! If you admire Ralph for his fine gesture, please share this. I know in any case that I will.
