Endometriosis Awareness Week 5th - 11th March

Just wanted to do my bit to raise more awareness of Endometriosis.
Please have a read cos it would mean a lot to me... More women have Endometriosis than there are people with Diabetes, and yet not enough people know about it or understand properly what it is, what it causes and how it affects the sufferers.
A quote from The Endometriosis Socioty
"During the week we will be launching a new hard hitting poster campaign which aims to increase understanding of endometriosis and its impact. In particular we are looking to reach younger women."
You can find out more about Endo here
Also the other Endometriosis Charity Shetrust (http://www.shetrust.org.uk/) is doing
THE WOMB WALK

2.45PM TO 5.30PM

BRING FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND JOIN OUR 3 MILE WALK FROM REGENT?S PARK TO PARLIAMENT SQUARE THROUGH THE ROYAL PARKS or THE 1 1/2 MILE WALK FROM THE BAND STAND IN HYDE PARK. BOTH END WITH TEA AT THE METHODIST HALL IN WESTMINSTER
If you could join in that'd be really great... I can't get down there myself.
And finally... Wanted to say a BIG thank you to thesite.org
for all their hard work helping with there being more information available on the internet about Endometriosis, especially for young women. :thumb:
