This is a cause very close to my heart.

As most of you know, I personally have suffered with endometriosis for years. Even with a diagnoses and lots of surgery including, removal of endometriosis and a hysterectomy to name a few, I am not free of this horrible debilitating disease. It effects every aspect of mine and my family's life and has robbed me of so much. I am a fighter and I refuse to give up or let it beat me or win.

 I am taking part in March in March to help raise money in aid of endometriosis research a debilitating condition that currently affects an estimated 1 in 10 women.Endometriosis occurs when tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found elsewhere - most commonly in the abdomen, on the ovaries, bladder and bowel.This misplaced tissue behaves like the lining of the uterus, bleeding every month and creating local inflammation. It is associated with chronic pain, heavy bleeding, and infertility, and can impact on mental, and social wellbeing.There is currently no known cure for women with pelvic pain and endometriosis, and there is an urgent unmet need for better treatments.The Excellence in Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis Care and Treatment (EXPPECT) team at Edinburgh aims to provide high quality, evidence-based and patient-centred management of pelvic pain.

Please help me raise awareness of this debilitating disease by sharing my story and donating if possible no matter how small. 

Really apreciate all your support on this cause. 

Thanks
