If you are interested in why the guys have picked this charity in particular, here is some insight into my story...
I have suffered with Endometriosis for many years now, and to be frank it sucks. It slows up my ability to function fully day to day, both physically and mentally. For the most part, I tend to keep it under wraps and tucked away from my professional life, just like many other woman who are also dealing with it.
I was told that the team at Nu would be undertaking this challenge, after they had already secretly organised it…I'm looking at you Ian Howes, likely because they thought I would stop them doing it for me.
I was touched that they were so committed to support me (love them), and the cause BUT I won’t be stopping them because this isn’t just about me. It is WAY bigger than that. As a condition Endometriosis is rarely talked about and diagnosis times are unacceptably high.
I waited around 6 years to be diagnosed, by which time I was carrying around several large cysts on my ovaries, one the size of a tennis ball, despite raising Endo as a possibility during assessments more than once, as my mum also suffered from it. I have undergone major surgery and still the condition continues to grow, even as far as my diaphragm, meaning I have more surgery to come, with higher risks this time.
Unfortunately, that’s a frustratingly common outcome, with the average diagnosis time being 8 years. Often by the time patients are offered help, the extent of the spread can be impossible to reverse.
Endometriosis is debilitating, it is responsible for chronic pain and fatigue, depression and brain fog (very frustrating when you are trying to run a business!). It can also leave you with a difficulty/ inability to conceive, and yet is still not being taken as seriously as it deserves to be.
Woman deserve more than this.
Please donate and share if you can. Thank you.
