Running for Endometriosis NZ

Endometriosis is a super common inflammatory disease that you may not have heard of.

Which is crazy because an estimate of 120,000 kiwi girls, women and those assigned female at birth suffer from it. That's roughly one in ten. There is no cure, but there are ways to manage symptoms.

It's something I'm passionate about because I'm one in ten, and a number of my loved ones are affected by Endometriosis too. Raising awareness and sharing our stories is so important, so others can get help and support they desperately need, earlier.

Endo is debilitating, and exhausting. Classic symptoms include painful heavy periods, chronic pelvic pain, all sorts of bowel problems, lower back pain, painful sex, fatigue, and can impact general physical, mental and social wellbeing.

I'll be running a 10km in April 2023 to raise money and support the vital work NZ endometriosis does. Donate if you can, it would be much appreciated :)

I'll post updates along the way!
