Sunderland Boxing Day Dip · 26 December 2022

Verity is a self help group set up in 1997 to help women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The charity is completely self funded and is the only national charity for women with PCOS. PCOS affects millions of women in the UK and worldwide (approximately 5-10 per cent) .

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My name is Kristina and I was diagnosed with PCOS around my 17th birthday. At the time, it was a relief to know and made all the side effects (no periods, extra hair, hard to lose weight, etc.) make sense. Now, as I'm entering my 30s, a new challenge has been set. Am I ever going to be able to have my own children? Will I have to have fertility treatment? Is my only option adoption? 

This is why I have chosen to take part in Sunderland's Boxing Day Dip. This will give me the opportunity to take part in an event and raise money for the charity, Verity, who are asking all the right questions and pushing the visibility of this condition everyday. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
