In my Foot-Steps Walk for Endometriosis Awareness · 14 May 2013

Over 1.5 million in the UK have endometriosis and the impact of the disease is for some devastating, yet diagnosis takes on average 8 years. With your donations we are turning this around, raising awareness, providing support and information, supporting research, and campaigning for change.

Story

I am raising money for Endometriosis UK as I want to help raise the awareness of this disease, which affects over 176 million women and girls worldwide.  

I too suffer from Endometriosis, which at times when the pain is bad, I find very difficult to cope with. There is no known cure for this horrible disease, which is why I want to help raise awareness to help find a cure.

Background

Endometriosis affects around 1.5 million women in the UK. Most of them are diagnosed between the ages of 25 and 40.

Endometriosis is a long-term (chronic) condition that causes painful or heavy periods. It often causes pain in the lower abdomen (tummy), pelvis or lower back. It may also lead to lack of energy, depression and fertility problems.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my Just Giving Page.
