My Story…
My friend, Julianna has endometriosis.
Some years ago I couldn't tell you much about this disease.
Enter, Julianna 🖤
I now know plenty about endometriosis and that is thanks to her. Julianna has been sharing her life with endo openly and freely. Her passion to bring about awareness is something to behold and the ways in which she helps to empower other Endo Warriors to advocate for themselves while navigating her own endo journey... I don't have the words. 💛
My friend, Julianna, has endometriosis and it took 15 years to diagnose. (If you think that's outrageous, it takes on average 7-12 years for medical professionals to correctly diagnose endometriosis. Imagine)
I have registered for the 10k @runtoendendo virtual race in September and I'm running for Julianna as she and so many others are fighting to bring about awareness. It's not an exaggeration to say their quality of life depends on it.
If you can't donate, please share and again, if you have even a moment, take some time to learn about endometriosis. The reality is there are people who suffer from endometriosis and don't know they have endometriosis and that should not be a reality in 2021.
MPP Marit Stiles (Davenport) tabled a Bill to recognize March as Endometriosis Awareness Month. The Bill is co-sponsored by MPP Suze Morrison (Toronto Centre). You can add your name here:
