Trek Cuba · 13 October 2004

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

Thank you for visiting my NES fundraising page.

The NES supports women, like my wife, Tracey, who suffer from the debilitating and little understood condition, endometriosis. Having graduated from the Executive MBA programme at Imperial College, London, I'm ready for the next challenge.

Tracey has kindly volunteered me to undertake a 100km fundraising challenge, to trek deep into the Cuban countryside on a journey through limestone canyons and across forested hill sides. To walk the Sierra del Escambray mountains through coffee plantations and orange orchards with giant palms lining the way. It will be a challenge with many highlights but definitely a challenge. I will be trekking for 5 days and will need to train beforehand if I am to finish and raise my target of £25,000 for the National Endometriosis Society

It is so important that funds are raised for this charity, funds that will allow NES to commission reasearch, raise awareness of the condition and work with the medical professions to find the cause & hopefully a cure for endometriosis. The funds will also allow NES to provide information, advice and support for endometriosis sufferers and those close to them. For further information on NES please visit www.endo.org.uk but not before you bookmark this page.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The 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.

So please dig deep and sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support. Shaun
