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

Hello everyone!
we are trying to get togheter some money to help and support women suffering for endometriosis.
A little support from each one of us can help women which suffer for this condition in discomfort and pain.
Endometriosi is one of this condition that is lived  in the intimacy of each woman body, and so it's hidden to most of us. Neverthless the constant pain, the fear accompanying the high probability of not being able to be a mother is a constant struggle, physically and surely emotionally for more women than we think.

A good friend of mine introduced me to her struggles to share her life with endometriosis. I can't even say fight it because it looks like there is nothing to be done:
you live your "adult" life as a woman, since you are a teen ager having to take the pill, and stop bleeding, or not taking the pill and having terrible pains and bleed all the time, and have such a low pressure you aren't almost able to walk.
And then you get to the stage when you can't cope anymore with any of this, and you are fed up to listen to doctors that don't know what to tell you anymore except "get pregnant" when they know that your condition debilitates you on that particular "task"!

I thank my friend for haveing shared with me her experience,
and I'm sorry I can't share the burden of it with her!
But I can surely try and help her helping the research about her condition, hoping that very soon there would be a way to fight endometriosis back!

A little help can mean a big change!

Thank you!
