I am taking on a 1in10 Challenge to raise vital funds for Endometriosis UK!
With my friend Esme we are going to climb 10 hills across Edinburgh to symbolise our constant battle with endometriosis and the fact that we will keep going no matter what!
Endometriosis is the name given to the condition where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body. It is a chronic and often debilitating condition that can cause painful periods, painful sex and pelvic pain outside of periods. It may also lead to infertility, fatigue and bowel and bladder problems.
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth, that's as many as diabetes yet very few people have even heard of it.
