The Weebles, Kelly, Isobel and Karen are taking part in Scotland's Kiltwalk 2021. We're raising funds and awareness for EXPPECT raising awareness and funds for ENDOMETRIOSIS in Scotland. 1 in 10 women 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 be as high as to 30–50%. Endometriosis is the second most common gynaecological condition in the UK. Endometriosis affects 1.5 million women, a similar number of women affected by diabetes. On average it takes 8 years from onset of symptoms to get a diagnosis. Endometriosis costs the UK economy £8.2bn a year in treatment, loss of work and healthcare costs. The cause of endometriosis is unknown and there is no definite cure.
Every penny I raise will be topped up by 50% thanks to the generosity of Sir Tom Hunter and The Hunter Foundation. Any donation you can spare will mean the world to me and my chosen charity. Thank you!
