Story

Prior to medical school I had heard the term endometriosis but never really knew what that meant. As a medical student I became aware of the negative effects endometriosis has on the lives of women every day. From cramping pain to infertility, physicians do not know what causes endometriosis and treatments are very limited. During my second year of the WWAMI program, my hospital mentor, Dr. Tracy Haas, told me she was putting together a team to run the New York City Marathon to raise money and awareness for the Endometriosis Foundation. Throughout her life she has struggled with endometriosis and has been an advocate for research and development.  As a passionate runner, I wanted to join the team to honor Dr. Haas and help those fighting endometriosis. If you or any of your loved ones are impacted by endometriosis, please let me know. I would love to honor them on my journey. Thank you to everyone willing to support my journey as a runner and willing to support EndoFund!

Below you will find more information regarding Endometriosis.

Endometriosis affects 7 million women in the US and 200 million worldwide. The disease is a leading cause of infertility and often goes undiagnosed for 7-10 years. For years, doctors have been taught that getting pregnant or having a hysterectomy were the best options for women with this condition. This is incorrect. Treatment and management of endometriosis is possible. Despite the large number of women affected, the federal government only sets aside ~$1 per diagnosed patient for research each year. This makes financial support for people with endometriosis so very important.Please join me in financially supporting people with endometriosis so we can raise awareness about diagnosis and proper treatment of this disease that affects so many women and their loved ones around the world.
