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
Welcome to my Fundraising page!
Thank you very much for taking the time to log on. I am Fundraising for the charity Endometriosis UK by participating in the 'Three Peaks Challenge' between August 21st - 23rd - http://www.acrossthedivide.com/openEvents/British_3_peaks_charity_challenge.asp (scaling the highest peaks in England, Scotland and Wales!!!)
As most of you will know, I have never participated in a charity event and have decided to so for the lovely lady standing next to me in the photo - Carol, who is an Endometriosis sufferer.
I have been working with Carol for just over a year now and can honestly say that I have never met someone so determined, positive and self less faced with such physical pain and emotional trauma - Carol awaits her 7th operation in 6 years.
Endometriosis is a disease which most people have never heard of but which affects up to 1 in 20 women in some parts of the world. Worst of all, it often goes undetected for years and affects some the most private areas of a woman's body. The things we take for granted - such as motherhood - are not always possible for those who have Endo.
I would therefore greatly appreciate if you would help me reach my Fundraising target by sponsoring me! I am aware that times are dire for everyone, however even a small contribution will go a long way!!
Lastly, but not least, we will be climbing the mountains wearing bright pink pants over our trousers, so I will have great pictures to show you all in August (if we make it back in one piece that is !!)
Many thanks for all your help again,
Alix
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Endometriosis UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
