This January, I'm taking part in the Winter Walk for Endo to ensure that everyone with endometriosis gets on the right pathway to care.

Endometriosis is a chronic pain condition that affects 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth. Those suffering with condition are often faced with making challenging and difficult decisions during diagnosis, treatment and management of endometriosis.

It took 14 years for my endometriosis to be diagnosed, years filled with pain, uncertainty, and being unheard. I have already undergone two surgeries and am currently awaiting my third, as the condition continues to affect my daily life. By sharing my story, I hope to raise awareness of endometriosis and help fund vital support, research, and care for those still fighting for answers and relief.

Endometriosis UK exists to offer support and reliable information as well as fight and campaign for change and better treatment options.
