WHY I CHOSE TO FUNDRAISE FOR ENDOMETRIOSIS UK
After 8 years of struggling to find out what was causing all the pain that I was having, I was told I have endometriosis. After years of suffering, I wanted to raise money for Endometriosis UK and to help make more people aware of endometriosis. Even though I still have good days and bad it’s good to know what it is and that there is help out there, and through this I can help others that are still suffering.
HOW IT WENT ON THE DAY
After having a lovely weekend in Brighton with my husband, the day arrived for the race and what a nice day it was! With nerves kicking in, I went with the crowd. Around the 18 mile mark I was met with a wave and a cheer which made my date, With a short stop for a photo I carried on fighting through the pain as my endometriosis pains had started to kick in, but gritting my teeth I carried on. I was slower than I planned, but I did manage to knock off ½ hour from last years’ time. Roll on next year!
