Walk for endometriosis Β· 1 August 2020

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

This is something very personal to me as it took years of tests, appointments, treatments and an operation to confirm my infertility, daily pain and fatigue is because i have endometriosis. It is attached to my lower pelvis and stomach. This causes lower back pain, pelvic pain severe cramps to name a few of the symptoms.

I still have a long journey ahead with an incurable chronic illness that.women struggle with everyday because our pain isn't taken seriously by medical professionals. 

So i will be walking 7.5km everyday to promote awareness of the fact it takes 7.5 years on average for a women to get their diagnosis. #walkforendo
