Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am doing this walk to raise awareness and understanding of endometriosis, a chronic long-term condition, for which there is currently no cure.

Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, yet takes on average 8 years to diagnose, 20 years in my case. 

Endometriosis can cause various types of pain, chronic fatigue, brain fog, irregular bleeding, bloating, ovarian cysts, neuropathy, infertility and personality changes and can be debilitating for some women.  Some women even end up with stoma bags or catheters due to endometriosis.

The money raised will go to Endometriosis UK, a charity which helps spread awareness about the condition.  This awareness and education should reduce the time women wait for a diagnosis and educate other people and healthcare providers about the signs and symptoms of endometriosis.
