We run for good causes, we bike for good causes, we even drink for good causes. But one large-hearted local is letting you decide what his hair style should be, and for a good cause.

The man behind the idea has been growing his hair for the better part of the last 22 months, and given pictures he posted of himself on his website, he’s got quite the mop of black hair going on. And for the sake of a variety of good causes, he’s ready to part ways with it. To encourage donations to causes ranging from Doctors Without Borders to Save Darfur to Amnesty International, he’s letting donors pick what his coming haircut will look like — the comb-over/Gallagher, Krusty the Clown or Samurai Top Knot.

With the deadline for donations and votes fast approaching (he’s given donors until 7 p.m. tonight), it looks like the write-in option “Just Plain Bald” might win by a hair, though Krusty the Clown is a close second. And for his efforts so far, he’s raised $1,280 for a variety of causes.

We know we’re a little late on this one, but we can’t help but throw whatever weight we have behind this selfless effort. We’re also putting our name and reputation behind the Krusty the Clown cut, though we demand that like the Simpsons character it’s modeled after, it be green.
