Before I go any further can I just say that you are welcome to donate as little as £1 and you and your donation can be anonymous…

David and Emma are raising money for Endo 1000, a research project for Endometriosis. The fundraising needs to raise £1million to include all 1000 women in the study. We’re aiming to raise £1,000, and have decided to wrap the whole thing into a “1,000 challenge”:

£1,000 raised.

1,000km travelled.

1,000 minutes.

Oxford to Marazion and back is almost exactly a 1,000km round trip and, rather wonderfully, it’s possible to do the whole thing — rail journey, race and return — in almost exactly 1,000 minutes.

Why ENDO1000?

Emma has been a sufferer of Endometriosis for a long time and had surgery earlier this year for deep endometriosis, endo on her rib and Adenomyosis. Endometriosis is a really painful condition and impacts most areas of my life (even post-surgery) and research like this is needed. The aim of the ENDO1000 project is to accelerate discovery and advance data-driven research into endometriosis diagnosis and treatment, paving the way for a brighter future for women affected by endometriosis.
