I waited 2430 days some of those days in horrific pain to get my diagnosis of PCOS; Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

This London Marathon weekend – please sponsor my marathon journey towards better health with proceeds going to Women's Health Hope. Women’s health hope is an incredible new charity that supports women with a whole range of health issues, with support groups and guidance or where to seek help and advice.

Charities like women’s health hope as incredibly important as Gynaecology wait times have tripled since 2014, leaving 760,000 women waiting in pain. A huge proportion (260,000) are not being seen within the NHS 18 week target time.

For many, it’s well over a year – 365 days of agony and counting. And the wait for diagnosis and surgery is even worse. Women with endometriosis typically wait over 8 years for a diagnosis. They then often wait several more years for surgery, all whilst enduring debilitating pain.

TURN OUR PAIN INTO POWER!

Sponsor women like me on the NHS waitlist to raise funds for Women’s Health Hope. And help us end medical misogyny.
