So Cody decided to help, and to do it in a way that would have double the impact.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know that people donate hair (for people undergoing cancer treatments), so I thought why not double up on it,\u201d he says. He\u2019s raising money for his cousin\u2019s family by offering to \u2018murder his man bun\u2019 if enough money is donated. If the fund gets high enough, he\u2019ll shave off his beard, too \u2013 he hasn\u2019t been clean-shaven in more than a decade.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSooner or later I was going to cut my hair \u2013 I haven\u2019t had it cut since August 2014.\u201d His brother is in the military so Cody\u2019s promised him a military cut, but he\u2019ll even consider shaving it right off if enough donations come in.<\/p>\n<p>Cody put a call out on his Facebook page that raised a few hundred dollars, bringing the GoFundMe page Ben\u2019s brother set up to over $2000. He\u2019s aiming for a total of $3300 by the end of September before the scissors come out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo all you haters of: disheveled people, man buns, hipsters in general, long hair on men, the movie castaway, ponytails, The Avett Brothers, clogged shower drains, people who are less bald than you, hobos, surfer wannabes, misappropriation of Japanese culture, cavemen, me,\u201d he wrote on his Facebook page. \u201cThis is your chance to band together, help out someone who could really use it and destroy a man bun, all in one fell swoop!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to support Cody\u2019s cousin, or if you just have a hate on for man buns and want to see one be eradicated, you can make a donation on GoFundMe <u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gofundme.com\/29odrx8\">here<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_20291\" style=\"width: 1450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20291\" class=\"wp-image-20291 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/Ben-Sturgeon.jpg\" alt=\"Ben Sturgeon\" width=\"1440\" height=\"964\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/Ben-Sturgeon-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/Ben-Sturgeon-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/Ben-Sturgeon-1024x686.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2016\/09\/Ben-Sturgeon.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-20291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ben Sturgeon at a recent birthday celebration with his nephews (supplied photo)<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t miss out on Doppler!
