Colne Valley Tangent Group are fundraising for Verity The Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Self Help Group which has been chosen by this years chairman, Elaine Gallagher. The charity is close to Elaine's heart as her daughter, Erin, has been diagnosed with PCOS.

We plan on doing different fundraising events over the year that Elaine is chairman, the first is one of our members, Beth, is doing the Leeds Half Marathon on the 11th May, followed by Gin Nights, Cricket Teas and the race night will be coming back.

​Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a very common condition that affects 1 in every 8 women in the UK. It manifests differently in each person and can be incredibly devastating to an individuals self esteem and quality of life. There is no known cause or cure.

PCOS isn't curable, but it can be managed and we are looking to try and assist Verity in raising awareness.
