Your Hairy Valentine

Dear friends,

You may have seen links I’ve posted about Feb-U-Hairy on Facebook and Twitter. If you haven’t, the month of February has been renamed as part of a project to help raise awareness about the importance of Pap Tests. Two medical students from Memorial University are encouraging women (and men) to not shave their legs for the entire month and collect donations for the local Pap clinic at Planned Parenthood here in St. John’s.

And gentlemen, fear not – you haven’t been left out as we’ve even had some guys shave their legs so that they too can join in the fun! I’m asking you for your support in my efforts to raise funds and awareness.

Can I be your hairy valentine?!?! 

“But Virginia, what the deal with this image?” you ask?! Well it was an ad I found in Toronto Metro, a commuter magazine back when I was at Centennial College in Toronto in 2005. It seems fitting since Valentine’s Day now happens during a rather hairy month.

Please don’t delay – pledge me today! http://bit.ly/hairyVM2011 Every dollar counts!

Thanks for your support,
Virginia
