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!
Move over, ice bucket challenge. This man shaved his beard for the first time in 40 years, and raised $51,000 for ALS. www.cbc.ca/1.3417802 via CBC Newfoundland and Labrador

What a man! If you admire Ralph for his fine gesture, please share this. I know in any case that I will.
