Story
The Endo Fight Club Global Giving Circle serves to provide assistance to endo sisters in financial need. Whether it's medical bills, supplies for "monthlies" , or just a little hand with food, gas, cleaning services and so on, our goals is to relieve a bit of the financial burden that comes along with being an endometriosis warrior. In addition, we work together to raise money that will go directly towards research.
Endometriosis is a female-specific disease that affects over 176 million girls and women across the globe, and those are just the ones who have a diagnosis! "Endo", as it's not so affectionately called, does not discriminate and can affect any woman of any age. It is estimated that endo costs over 85 billion dollars per year in medical expenses, lost work productivity and income, and other economic burdens. There is no test, there is not enough research, and THERE IS NO CURE.
March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. Our hope as a collective is to create a "call to action" for endometriosis research. One of the best ways to facilitate this is through donations towards The World Endometriosis Research Fund, or WERF. WERF is a registered charity based in England and Wales and is currently partnered with over 60 hospitals in 25 countries. The current goal is $17,600 to represent the number of women with a current diagnosis. No amount is too small and we appreciate every penny. We also encourage you to get involved by raising awareness in your community. Thank you from the Endo Fight Club!
