Story
Our team is made up of our little family and friends who want to help make a difference
Eliza, has lived with endo since she was 17 years old now 40 shes had 5 surgeries for the condition which have given small windows of relief, now at the end of September Eliza was booked to have a full hysterectomy to cure her severe adeno however due to vital organs being fused together it was far too dangerous. Currently she is moving slowly while trying to recover and will gently walk while in recovery and Dave will pick up what shes not capable of doing
were walking to raise vital funds to help raise awareness into this condition that effects 1 in 9 people effecting their physical, mental, emotional health, endo is a whole body condition and for us this is incredibly personal
endo has effected us financially with expensive medical bills (on average have been between $15,000–$42,000 per year depending on the treatment required), ongoing allied health appointments and loss of wages due to Eliza not being able to work as much as she would like.
Its stolen our fertility and our dream of extending our family
but what it hasnt been able to do is steal our resilience, our determination, and our hope, our hope that one day we will find a cure and that the future generations wont suffer in silence and delayed diagnosis will be a thing of the past.
We want education for all medical professionals so that when people are presenting to GP clinics, school nurses or emergency departments those clinicans are able to identify the symptoms of Endometriosis. On average the diagnosis of a patient with Endo can take up to 7-10 years before it’s officially diagnosed in the meantime that patient suffers greatly both physically but also psychologically wondering if its all in their head and if anyone is going to help them.
We need more funding, More awareness, More education
please donate, join the the walk or share if you can lets end endo
