Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 5th of May, I'll be running the Copenhagen Marathon and I've decided to fundraise for Endometriosis UK. For the past 6 years, I've lived with endometriosis, a condition affecting millions of women but lacking awareness. There is still a lot of stigma around it which is why I would like to raise awareness and support better diagnosis, treatment, and research. 

Here are some facts and figures from Endometriosis UK: 

• 1 in 10 women and those assigned female of birth of reproductive age in the UK suffer from endometriosis.
• 10% of women world wide have endometriosis - that’s 176 million worldwide.
• The prevalence of endometriosis in women with infertility can be as high as to 30–50%.
• Endometriosis is the second most common gynaecological condition in the UK.
• Endometriosis affects 1.5 million women and those assigned female at birth, a similar number of those affected by diabetes.
• On average it takes 8 years from onset of symptoms to get a diagnosis.
