760,000 women are enduring The Painathon: The marathon wait for a gynaecology appointment. Sponsor them today and help end medical misogyny.

Story

Gynaecology wait times have tripled since 2014, leaving 760,000 women waiting in pain. A huge proportion (260,000) are not being seen within the 18 week target time.

For many, it’s well over a year – 365 days of agony and counting. And the wait for diagnosis and surgery is even worse. Women with endometriosis typically wait over 8 years for a diagnosis. They then often wait several more years for surgery, all whilst enduring debilitating pain.

Turn our pain into power. Sponsor women like me to raise funds for Women’s Health Hope.

(I am not participating in the london marathon, this is a campaign running alongside it)

Women’s Health Hope is an independent charity dedicated to supporting, advocating for, and educating about women’s health. Our mission is to shine a light on the unique challenges women face and create a safe space where no one feels alone in their journey. Our founder, Monica, knows firsthand the struggles of living with under-recognised and misunderstood health conditions. After battling symptoms for 17 years—often feeling unheard and dismissed—she was finally diagnosed with lichen sclerosus, endometriosis, and adenomyosis.
