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.

I've been growing out my armpit hair for about a year and a half now. It's been really tough counteracting the stigma that women with body hair face, but I've really grown to love the hair growth under my arms!

Since I grow out my pit hair already, growing it for a month seems redundant for me. However, I have PCOS and feel like it's not a well known condition in society so I wanted to support Armpits4August and Verity in some way! So I'm dying my armpit hair purple this August, and hey if I like it I might just continue dying it!
