Armpits4August - Raising awareness for PCOS

So a few days ago, a friend pointed out this website to me. As you all know - and if you don't, come on, it's in my banner for goodness sake - I have PCOS. I try and raise awareness for it in whatever way I can bring myself to do; these guys... or girls, rather, are doing just that. They're a completely awesome cause and they're supporting a great PCOS charity. So this post is encouraging you to go take a look at them. And maybe donate? Take part?

I'm not taking part in Armpits4August, admittedly, because I'm fairly self-conscious and a little vain. So instead of taking part, I'm spreading the word, hopefully you guys will. Basically, they're growing out their armpit hair for August - kind of like Movember, I guess. You don't just have to be a woman to take part. Twitter has been coming alive with men taking part by shaving their armpits and recording their experiences.

So everyone doing it is getting sponsored and that money goes to a charity called Verity. I have a link in my side-bar if you're interested. They're an awesome charity, working to find out more about PCOS and helping people that have it.

You can contact the A4A girls over on Twitter @Armpits4August or by using hashtag #pitpride and they're really friendly and often reply. I don't want this to be a very long post, so that's all I really have to say. Go check these girls out and give them some support!
