June is Pride month in the UK - a time for celebration of the LGBTQ+ community.
In today's blog, we share Cassia's story:
Hot flushes, migraines, countless bouts of thrush, and a pretty intense drop in libido were not problems I expected to be facing at 20 years old. But here we are. I have endometriosis, and even though the medically-induced menopause which has caused those issues is in my best interests to try to control my endometriosis, this all feels bizarre.
Endometriosis impacts all aspects of my life: my appearance, my physical and mental health, my work and social life, and of course my sex life.
Here's a great and informative piece from Endometriosis UK ambassador Dr Larisa Corda which is featured on Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust blog.
We're delighted to introduce you today to our new awareness representative - Abbie Stapleton - who lives in Cambridgshire. Abbie experienced symptoms for 10 years before she was finally diagnosed with endometriosis in May 2019. She's passionate about raising awareness of endometriosis and driving change for the 1.5million with the condition in the UK. Read on to find out more.
In this blog we speak to June, one of our fabulous Awareness Month fundraisers, who raised an amazing £4,000 for Endometriosis UK! Read on to find out how she did it.
Firstly – thank you so much for all you’ve done to raise such an incredible amount of money for endometriosis UK! Could you tell us a little bit about yourself, and what motivated you to take part in the 1 in 10 challenge?
