Story

This time I am taking part in my first ever marathon in Leicester! I am hoping to complete it in between 5hrs and 5hrs 30mins, it will be 26 miles of sweat, pain and maybe.........tears!
But this is nothing as to what some women go through suffering from Endometriosis. After seeing what my loved one Carley goes through over the years with the cramps, being bloated,  pain that makes you pass out, trying to carry on with a normal day when the pain is so bad and the hard part of not knowing if you can have children, also being passed from doctor to doctor! It is a brilliant charity which has plenty of great volunteers but not enough action being done by doctors/hospitals, which is why I want to raise money to help fund the research make more people aware, espeically men and help to stop or ease the pain that women suffer from to carry on a normal day to day life.

Please give as much as you can to help as all will be appreciated!

You can also donate by text. Simply text BENY82 £3 to 70070. Or whatever amount you fancy! Thanks!!
