Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hello everyone 👋🏼

I have decided to take part in Tough Mudder, which is a 8-10 mile obstacle course. I thought I would try and raise some money and support a charity which has hugely support my little sister. 

Endometriosis is an incredibly debilitating and under researched condition and can impact so many women, my sister, Aimee, being one of them. It is currently an incurable and not hugely known about. 

Please see below my sisters experience with this condition: 

‘Thank you for taking the time to read this. In 2017, I started to have symptoms such as multiple water infections every week, bloating, painful periods, painful stomach cramps, flare ups, extreme fatigue, mood swings and many more symptoms. I been coping with these symptoms everyday for 3 years and throughout my university life which is already a tricky and hectic time in anyone's life. After going to multiple doctors who didn't take my symptoms seriously and was left feeling patronised, frustrated, confused and worried. In 2018, my symptoms became unbareable. I would have sleepless nights as the pains were so bad and would be crying pretty much every week because of how debilitating and draining it was and I was finally transferred to Liverpools women's hospital. This is were I had ultrasounds, bladder tests and a colospsy. This is were they found CIN 1 on my cervix. I was declined a smear test due to being too young and had to wait a year to see if the CIN 1 had spread, luckily there wasn't any changes. I have been put on multiple medications to help with the symptoms such as the pill and being enduced into early menopause at 20 years old. In late August 2019, I will have my laposcopy (operation) to be properly diagnosed and to see what's happening in my body! It's taken 3 years to get properly diagnosed and for progress to be made. I feel so lucky it's only taken 3 years as for many women the average time is around 9 years. I'm so grateful I have an amazing sister who is willing to raise money and awareness for my condition. I finish on this, endometriosis has no cure and no known cause to why women and some men get the condition which leaves many doubting their symptoms, not getting the reliant treatment or support and are left feeling lonely and down which I have definitely felt.’ 

Knowing that the person who is closest to you in life, has to struggle everyday with something which doesn’t have a cure, breaks my heart. She is an absolute inspiration to myself and everyone around her. The struggles that she’s been through just to get some clarity on what is happening to her body has been immense and we all couldn’t be prouder of her. 

That  is why I feel it is so important, to support and raise awareness for Endometriosis UK. Not only for my little sister but for every woman out there with this condition.  

Please  help me and my sister, to help raise a little bit of cash to try get us one step closer in finding a cure. 

Any donations big or small are welcome. 

Thank you ❤️
