Help Krista raise money

For participating in The Endo Network's Run To End Endo™ 2024

My Story…

My journey with endometriosis started long before I ever heard the word. Horribly heavy, long, and painful periods, debilitating chronic pain, indescribably agonizing chronic pelvic pain, and many other symptoms, all from a very young age started my endometriosis journey. I just had my first laparoscopy on March 7th 2024, and am hopeful for some relief after 26+ years of suffering from my severe symptoms.

Sadly, I am not alone.

Endometriosis is a full body disease, and NOT "just a bad period". Endometriosis has affected my overall quality of life, mental health, fertility, relationships with family and friends, and my ability to keep steady hours of employment.
Endometriosis warriors, suffer for a minimum of 8-10 years before receiving specialized symptom treatment. We spend years suffering, and begging to be referred to the right specialist for help. Often going to the ER when symptom management fails and our pain gets too bad to handle, being told it's all in our heads, etc. All of this is beyond unacceptable, and we deserve better care.

We need more medical professionals who specialize in endometriosis and we need more research into this disease. 1 in 10 is not rare.

Any donation, no matter the size, will help towards better training for specialists, and medical professionals and create greater research funding.

Thank you. 💛🌻
