My why.

I stopped going for regular walks when my beautiful dog of 13 years passed away a year ago. Walking was a reminder of what I had lost & that I would be going for walk alone and without my furry bestie. But I’m challenging myself to go for regular walks to support this cause & the women going through this tough battle..

Though I may not be personally affected by this terrible disease, I see how vulnerable and scared these women are preparing to go through the battle. But I am also in awe of how strong and courageous they are, even if they don’t feel like they are in this moment.

As someone who has endometriosis, has had 2 major surgeries myself, and had to battle through some really tough times on a daily basis, I can sympathise with how they are feeling, the surgery is the easy part. It’s the recovery, follow-up appointments, feeling like your losing yourself to the disease and the mental stress every single day - which is the harder battle and I want to give them some more support. 

For me, this is the best way aside from checking up on them during our revisit consults in clinic!
