Story

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.

I was finally diagnosed with endometriosis in 2010 after years of painful symptoms. Two surgeries later, and a strategy to manage my disease I was able to get more involved with competitive sports again. In my professional life as a therapist I have devoted most of my practice to treating women with chronic pelvic pain disorders (www.betterbeingmainline.com). Running the NYC marathon will help me to raise awareness & needed research funds, and to show other women with pelvic pain disorders that they can be active & competitive.
