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.

Verity needs you!! All that you need to do is donate some pennies..or pounds and I will, on the 18th May with some equally dedicated people, walk 26 miles from Lewes to Beachy Head. The reason for this madness is that I have PCOS and I am a Trustee of Verity, the only UK charity for women with PCOS. The charity receives no formal funding and is run entirely by volunters. Your donation will provide support & information to women with PCOS also raise greater public awareness of PCOS as it affects an incredible 1 in 10 women. Unbelievably most women do not even know they have the PCOS as every women has a different set of symptoms and these can vary from hirsuitism, hair loss, acne, obesity, depression, irregular periods and infertility, in fact all the things that make you feel awful as a woman! Every step I take will support Verity's purpose to inform and empower women with the "truth about PCOS". Verity has made a difference to my life and with your donation, it will make a difference to other women with PCOS.
