Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
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 for pcos at this time. PCOS is often only associated with fertility and weight, but it's a serious endocrine condition that affects over 4 million in the UK.
When I was 15 l was diagnosed with PCOS and for me to be diagnosed with this condition at such a young age with no known cause or cure was utterly heart breaking.
On the 15th of November I am taking part in the UWCB charity boxing event, I have chosen to take part in this event to challenge myself and push myself outside my comfort zone physically and mentally and to raise awareness for women living with PCOS
The charity PCOS relief offers support and valuable information to women living with PCOS. They also work alongside qualified research professionals to identify what PCOS is, and how signs and symptoms can be reduced and quality of life can be improved.
Any money raised will go directly to the charity to help fund this more research to support ladies like myself with there PCOS journey. Any donation big or small is greatly appreciated, every penny counts.
Thank you
