This March I'll be fundraising to raise awareness and much needed funds to support the 1in10 women with endometriosis.

Endometriosis isn't just a gynaecological condition but a whole body condition. It causes chronic pain and fatigue, painful sex, issues with fertility, bowel and bladder weakness and incontinence, as well as nerve pain in the back and the legs.

Those suffering with the condition are often faced with making challenging and difficult decisions during diagnosis, treatment and management of endometriosis which in my opinion, should not be happening in today’s society.

There is still a great deal of work to be done in politics, the work place, in education and within the health sector to reduce the bias and discrimination that women and girls with this debilitating condition face every single day.

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