Fundraising for Endometriosis UK
Story
Hello all,
Thank you for giving my page a quick visit - most appreciative!
As you may know, I am a sufferer of the incurable disease that is Endometriosis. I have had two operations in the last few years but it is something that I will have to deal with for a long time to come.
I am not alone - over 1.5 million women in the UK suffer from this chronic condition that causes pain, infertility and generally makes life a lot harder to live.
After a 7 year struggle I was finally diagnosed in 2012 and Endometriosis UK were the charity that gave me a place to go and talk with other women in the same situation. They are an uplifting group of inspiring women and for helping me in a some tough situations, I want to give something back to them.
Last year I could barely walk up the road, let alone run 1k. So this 10k target will be quite the challenge but - BRING IT ON!
I started my training recently in South Africa where a few sable (antelope) and a warthog called Kevin kept me going. Back in the cold UK, it is going to be slightly harder, but I will do it! I am currently running 4k...so there is progress!
Please help me raise some funds for a well deserving charity whilst I try to deny my disease the right to rule my life! Your donations mean alot to me and Endo UK.
Thank you!
