Edinburgh Marathon 2023 · 28 May 2023 ·

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

Everyday I witness the person I care about the most suffer from Endometriosis.
Admittedly I, like many others, did not know anything about the disease previously. Now I see the pain and distress it can cause.

Endometriosis is a disease affecting 1 in every 10 women worldwide. It causes chronic pain across the entire body and can significantly impact somebody's life in a number of physical, mental and emotional ways.

On average it takes 8 years for symptoms to get a diagnosis. 
Check on your girlfriends, wives, mothers, sisters, friends & family. Greater awareness might just shorten this for someone in your life.

There is no known cause.
There is no definitive cure.
This needs to change.
