Our story…
Hi! My name is Julia and I recently got diagnosed with endometriosis, after years of having painful/heavy periods, and experiencing PMS. After such a long wait I finally am at a manageable pain level due to the medication I’m on, and I am extremely grateful that I am finally live with less endometriosis pain. I want to raise awareness and bring more light to this condition for those who are still in a lot of pain. Growing up I was told “painful periods are normal” and that lead me to believe that everything I was experiencing was “fine”. I want to break the stigma around painful/heavy periods and lessen the wait time to see doctors about them, as I could have been pain free years ago if I was taken more seriously by society. I am so excited for this event and can’t wait to help fund a cause I’m so passionate about!
Hello! My name is Alexander. I want to do this run because my girlfriend was recently diagnosed with endometriosis and I want to help raise awareness around the condition. Being a part of an event like this is something that I think can help my girlfriend and others see that there are lots of people who might be going through the same thing they are and show how there is a large community ready to support them and fight against endo.
