Samantha's Fundraiser for Vulval Pain Society.

I live with a rare condition known as Vulvodynia and potentially another rare condition of Interstitial Cystitis (awaiting diagnosis for this one). Both are painful conditions that vary from person to person and affect people daily. I will be doing Januhairy for the whole month of January, which will involve not cutting or shaving or waxing any of my body hair, to help raise awareness of these conditions that need more research and publicity.
