Endometriosis is a chronic condition with no cure, affecting 1 in 10 women and girls in the UK. Endometriosis requires laparoscopic surgery for diagnosis, which is expensive and difficult to recover from. It often takes women 8-12 years to be diagnosed, leaving sufferers in pain and with heavy, painful periods that disrupt their lives.
"This topic is extremely close to my heart because, after thirteen years without knowing the cause, a lot of pain and being medically gaslit, I finally got a diagnosis that changed my life. At 32, I was lucky to have an understanding employer who paid for me to see a doctor privately. Finally, I got my diagnosis. For the first time, I felt heard and seen. I'm determined to stop this silent epidemic and help future generations with this devastating disease.
I’m so proud to be running The London Marathon for Wellbeing of Women. The money donated goes directly into research - into the labs of scientists working to uncover the causes of endometriosis, develop non-invasive diagnostic tests, and find ways to prevent it. Running this marathon means I can contribute to groundbreaking research that could change lives."
If my efforts make a difference to just one person then it will all be worth it.
Without more research funding, this situation won't change. Like thousands of other women, I had to carry on with life, masking this invisible illness for over a decade.
