The charity I have chose to fundraise is personal, and motivated by my commitment to play a very small part to help raise awareness around women’s genealogical/ reproductive health. Far too often women experience, and continue to experience painful health conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis and heavy menstrual bleeding that are frequently finding their symptoms ‘normalised’ and their pain dismissed when seeking help. For so many sufferers, getting a diagnosis and treatment can take years, forcing women to ‘just put up with it’. For sufferers, the pain and discomfort that comes with these conditions often impacts significantly with every aspect of our lives, including work, relationships and fertility, while conditions worsen.

For those who know me well, know I’m no born athlete. It’s taking a lot of hard work and dedication to prepare myself for this run, so thank you for taking the time to visit my page and read my story.
