I am running the Asics 10K to raise vital funds for Endometriosis UK!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 and chronic pain outside of periods. It may also lead to infertility, fatigue and bowel and bladder problems, the need for invasive and repeat surgeries and procedures.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 (my diagnoses took 11) 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.
