In 2027, I'll be running the Manchester Marathon in support of Endometriosis UK.

I’m taking on this challenge because I’ve seen first-hand the impact endometriosis can have after my girlfriend was diagnosed last year. Watching her navigate the daily challenges of this condition has made me want to do something positive to support her and others affected. By running this marathon, I hope to raise awareness and help fund the vital work of Endometriosis UK.

Endometriosis affects millions of people, yet it is still widely misunderstood, and many wait years for a diagnosis. The work that Endometriosis UK does—raising awareness, providing support, and campaigning for better care—is incredibly important.

Training for a marathon will be a huge challenge, but it feels small compared to what so many people living with endometriosis face every day.

If you're able to, I'd be incredibly grateful for any donation, no matter the size. If you can't donate, sharing this page would mean just as much.

Thank you for supporting me, Anya, and everyone affected by endometriosis.
