Story


The Lloyd sisters are running the Cardiff Half Marathon on behalf of a charity that’s close to our hearts.
After years of unanswered questions, in 2019, Llin was finally diagnosed with Endometriosis and underwent trials, tests and invasive surgery. Learning to live with the complications and the emotional and physical pain Endometriosis brings (and the new scars!) is a struggle to the strongest, but hopefully raising money & awareness to the condiiton, will bring an army of strength to everyone who needs it.
The future of fertitility for Llin is still uncertain, but the hope for a pitter patter of tiny feet is the strongest it’s ever been. For now, if you want to donate to help our tiny feet, run this lengthy course, you know what to do.
So much love, The Lloyd gals xx
P.s. Team name very aptly chosen by Margot Wyn, aged 3. She knows her Aunty veeeeeery well!
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.
The impact can be felt for life and there is no cure.
It takes an average of 8 years to get a diagnosis of endometriosis in the UK, that's too long!
Your donations will mean that Endometriosis UK can continue to support those affected by Endometriosis through national support groups, information provision and their helpline as well as continue to campaign for change, fairer treatment and eventually a cure.
