Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Against my own sanity😅 I will be raising money for the PMDD project by running 10K on the Bournemouth Bay Run on Sunday 23rd March.

Back in October I was diagnosed with PMDD and I would like to raise awareness of what it is, help people who have the disorder cope with it and to help their friends/family be more educated on PMDD.

PMDD is Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. It is a mood disorder that affects people who menstruate, typically in the Luteal phase of their menstrual cycle which is the two weeks before menstruation.

PMDD is characterized by extreme mood swings, irritability, depression and anxiety along with physical symptoms like fatigue, sleep disturbances, joint or muscle pain and bloating. These symptoms can be intense enough to interfere with daily functioning and quality of life often making it harder to manage work, relationships and general well-being. In some severe cases, thoughts of suicide can be symptom.

Thank you for reading this and I hope I do you proud!❤️
