On Thursday the 25th February at 7pm for a 7.30 start we had the pleasure in welcoming Katie Awdas talking about Living with Endometriosis. It is thought that around 176 million girls and women suffer from endometriosis worldwide.
Katie has suffered from the chronic condition endometriosis since the age of 16, taking ten years to receive a diagnosis, and is now in her early thirties. She will talk to us about her ongoing battle with this debilitating and painful condition while trying to lead as normal a life as possible, a challenge which may well resonate with many of you.
Katie stepped out of her comfort zone and joined 11 other women in making a calendar for Endometriosis UK, as Miss June, with 100% of the profits being donated to the charity. Katie Awdas – BBC News – Endometriosis Calendar Girls
