First of all, thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving fundraising page.

In 2016 I will run my first half-marathon, so I decided to use this opportunity to increase awareness of endometriosis and raise funds for the World Endometriosis Research Foundation (WERF).

My family and I know too well what endometriosis feels like and how it can affect those you love and care about.

Unfortunately not enough people know about it; there is no known cure, and worst of all, no one knows the exact nature of endometriosis. Women across the world struggle with the symptoms and complications of this horrible condition.

But I believe that we can move the progress forward together, and donating to WERF is a great opportunity to do so: your donation will go towards promoting endometriosis-related research. Just think about it: your donation can help find a cure and help millions of women all over the world!
