I am running the Cardiff Half Marathon to raise vital funds for Endometriosis UK! Endometriosis is the name given to the condition where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body. It is a chronic and often debilitating condition that can cause painful periods, painful sex and pelvic pain outside of periods. It may also lead to infertility, fatigue and bowel and bladder problems. Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women.The impact can be felt for life and there is no cure. It takes an average of 8 years to get a diagnosis of endometriosis in the UK, that's too long! Your donations will mean that Endometriosis UK can continue to support those affected by Endometriosis through national support groups, information provision and their helpline as well as continue to campaign for change, fairer treatment and eventually a cure.

Having not run for almost a year due to having my first surgery for endometriosis and then getting  pregnant with baby Darcy, I've decided to set myself the goal of running the half marathon in October- wish me luck! Any donation is massively appreciated x
