Heroic bearded lady grows out facial hair for Movember

11/28/2012

What have the women in your life done this month to support men's health? Diddly-squat, right? So it is with a manly hurrah and a pumping of our fist we applaud the efforts of Siobhan Fletcher, 36, of Leek in England. Fletcher has suffered from polycystic ovarian syndrome since the age of 17, which has caused her to grow a fine ginger beard much like a man's that she usually shaves every second day. But when a friend put down his razor for Movember, Siobhan bravely decided she would too. "This isn't a sideshow," Siobhan said. "It's to raise awareness of men's cancers." So far, she's raised over $1,100. [Source]
