Story

Hey everyone, 

Thank you for reading my Just Giving page it means a lot to me. 

My story starts of last year when I found that I had a stomach ache that would not go away. I was stressed and could not figure out the reason why I was suffering like this. So my boyfriend took me to the walk in, I will not go into full detail as I would be here for ever, but I got diasgnosed with an ovariun cyst and told I would need surgery. While waiting for this  I realised I was in more and more pain every day. During my durgery they found out I had endoemtriosis I was so scared as I did not know what this meant, I looked it up on wiki and this is what I found: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endometriosis.

I strugle while being in agony and the upsetting thing is some Endometriosis sufferes never have children and they also are in constant agony for the rest of their lives. 

When i was little I always got told to look on the bright side of life by my nan, who very sadly is not here any more. So that is what I am doing. I am looking on the bright side of life even tho I am not really looking forward to what the future will bring. 

There is a couple of reasons why I am doing this charity sponsorship: 

The first reason is to get Endometriosis out there as when I found out that I had got it I did not have a clue what it was. 

The second reason why I am doing this is for my nan, who was always there for me when I was younger and I just want to make her proud of me. 

Please also see my other just giving page:

Please give whatever you can give, I am struglying to find the strength to get out of bed every day but I really want to make a difference. So please do help me make a difference.
