My Story

Endometriosis has shaped so much of my life: the pain, the exhaustion, the years of not being believed, the surgeries, the impact on fertility, and the quiet grief that comes with all of it.

For over two decades, I lived in a cycle of flare‑ups, bleeding, and fatigue that swallowed whole days and made even simple things feel impossible. Choosing a hysterectomy was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made, but it was also the moment I finally took my life back.

Running became part of that healing: a way to rebuild my body, my confidence, and my sense of self after years of feeling like endo was calling all the shots.

Training for this marathon hasn’t been easy; some days my lower back screams, my abdomen aches, or fatigue floors me. But every mile reminds me that I’m still here, still moving, still fighting. I’m running for the women who are still waiting for answers, for those navigating infertility, for those who feel unheard, and for the version of me who spent years in pain without a name for it.

This fundraiser is my way of turning all of that struggle into something good.

Thank you everyone 💛❤️💛❤️
