Every November, hundreds of thousands of men undertake an oath to restrain from shaving for the entire month to raise awareness for male cancers. However, there are not many women who participate, and there are even less women who are capable of growing a full on grizzly beard. Siobhain Fletcher is one of these such women. She first heard about No Shave November from a friend, and then decided to support the cause. Siobhain Fletcher has a condition called PCOS, or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which causes an imbalance in her female hormones. Throughout her life, she has had anxiety issues due to her condition. She has often been mistaken for a man. Siobhain simply wants people to know that,
"People shouldn't judge you on what you have on your face, it's what's inside that matters."
So far, Fletcher has raised just under $2000 for Movember.
