I'm walking 8,000 steps every day in July for Endometriosis UK to support the 1in10 with the disease, who wait on average a shocking 8 years to receive a diagnosis in the UK! 

That's too long! 

I have suffered from this terrible disease since I was a teenager, I've had very painful periods, almost passing out from pain, ended up in A&E, it's spread in many major organs of my body and it is also on my diaphragm and my lungs. I've been through numerous chest drains, two major surgeries at Brompton Hospital, one of those being a severe lung collapse when I was 38 weeks pregnant and almost lost my life from it 4 years ago. The disease has stolen a lot from me, but I am fighting back! 

Please consider supporting my challenge by making a donation. Endometriosis UK relies heavily on donations to support their work which consists of volunteer led support services including a helpline, web chat and face to face support groups, information provision, awareness raising as well as campaigning and lobbying for change and better treatment options.
