Endo help foundation aim is to collectively clock up 40,075km for the month of October and to spread a message that period pain that interferes with your life isn’t normal and needs medical attention
Walking for the 800,000 fellow Australians who have endo
Why are we walking for Endo ?
I am walking for myself
to raise awareness for what I’ve been through 4 surgeries
With the 5th surgery in 7 days time
This condition has felt like it’s taken so much from me
My capacity to work as much as I want to
My freedom to have spontaneous plans
My happiness and joy at times
My ability to be financially stable with this costing me on average $10-$15k per year to manage
This year the condition has set me and my family back $34,454 and it’s not over yet
That’s a house deposit, that’s a new car but for us that’s the cost of keeping me functioning
While I’m under no illusions that it’s a privilege to have the care and treatment I receive it’s not free, my husband has to work twice as hard to provide these things when I can’t
I want to spend our money on making happy memories with holidays and experiences not on hospital stays, medical specialists, scans, surgeries and medication
I walk for a cure
