Everyone remembers Movember, that fun-filled month where men grow their mustaches in support of prostate cancer awareness and fundraising. Well now it's the ladies turn with a month that has been dubbed as Julyna.
Julyna is much like Movember except instead of supporting prostate cancer it is for cervical cancer. If you are trying to guess what women will "grow out" for this month, you're allowed to keep your mind in the gutter this time. Yes, for the entire month of July, women will be growing out the hair in their nether regions. Donations will be given individually through the Black-Tie fundraiser they are hosting at the end of July. I just hope I don't see girls' Facebook photos with their monthly progress.
