Story

Hello everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For the month of August I will be growing my armpit hair to raise money and awareness for PCOS, and promoting healthy body images for men and women - whether that be hairy or not hairy.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that affects how a woman’s ovaries work, and can result in:

  • excessive body hair (hirsutism)
  • irregular or light periods
  • problems getting pregnant (infertility)
  • weight gain
  • acne
  • hair loss from the head

PCOS affects millions of women in the UK alone.

You can read more about PCOS and Armpits for August here: http://armpits4august.org/
