Hey! My name is Eve and I am 22 years old. I am happy to announce that I am taking part in Walk for Endo this Summer to help raise awareness and vital funds to support the 1in10 on their journey with Endometriosis and take steps towards a time with quicker diagnosis and access to appropriate care.

I am 1 in 10 that sadly has it. I have been battling stage three Endometriosis for the past 12 years. Despite experiencing debilitating pain and numerous symptoms throughout my teenage years, my condition was consistently dismissed by GPs. It was not until October 2023 that I finally received an accurate diagnosis. My journey to this point has been incredibly challenging, filled with countless doctor visits, misdiagnoses, and a constant struggle for validation. I want to change this!

Endometriosis is a chronic condition where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows elsewhere in the body, causing severe pain, fatigue, and many other symptoms. It affects 1 in 10 women of reproductive age, yet awareness and understanding of the disease are still limited.

Endometriosis UK provides crucial support to those affected by the condition, offering information, advice, and a community for sufferers to connect with one another. They also work tirelessly to improve diagnosis times and access to treatments, as well as funding vital research to find better ways to manage and eventually cure endometriosis.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in the lives of those affected by Endometriosis, and we all can help! No one should suffer in silence.

Thank you so much for your support and generosity.

With gratitude,

Eve x
