Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. The charity I've chosen needs your help....and I need as much moral support as possible! :)

My Task: Tandem Skydive 12,000ft - 45 second freefall! A nice view of Dubai on the way down.

(Event Date: 21st June 2006 @ 1pm GMT - NOT as stated above)

What is Endo? Endometriosis is a disease in which abnormal tissue grows in the abdomen and other places in the body. It causes internal bleeding, inflammation, scarring, severe pain and fatigue, and sometimes infertility. It cannot be cured, and gets worse over time. Treatment methods used are pain medication, hormones and surgery. Through associations like the National Endometriosis Society, women are beginning to understand that they are not alone in their pain and suffering. Medical research is necessary as scientists are still unsure about what causes Endometriosis! Women need to understand this perplexing disease and be able to end all the myths, pain, and frustrations that are apparent in it's diagnosis. http://www.endo.org.uk/ 

Why choose this chairty? Having spent five years with various symptoms, I've recently been diagnosed with Endo. I had no idea what this was and the Society helped me to understand the facts and the options which I will have to face in the future.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: National Endometriosis Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

You can also help by signing the following petition which will be presented to Parliament on the 04.07.06. http://www.ethical-business.com/default.asp?sect=detail&pet=104


Huge thanks for your support.
