First London Marathon runner for endometriosis

 
 

FEBRUARY 2008

Contribute to the lives of millions of women by sponsoring Endometriosis UK’s first ever London Marathon runner!

Endometriosis UK has been granted its first place in the London Marathon.

The charity will not be given another chance until 2012 and it needs your help to realise this opportunity to push endometriosis into the public eye and to generate much-needed funds to raise further awareness of this debilitating disease.

The runner for Endometriosis UK is Neil Kelly, 33, from Basingstoke, who is running on behalf of his wife, a sufferer of endometriosis.

“Endometriosis UK provided vital support and information for my wife Kerry when she was diagnosed in 2002. It took 4 years for her to receive a correct diagnosis which I find truly shocking. I really want to raise awareness of the condition so that we can decrease the time it takes to diagnose. This would mean that women, like Kerry, will receive the correct treatment and support earlier.

I have always wanted to run the London Marathon and have been waiting for a chance to do so for Endometriosis UK. It is a great opportunity for me to show my support for a charity that has provided so much for my wife.”

Neil is doing the hard work.

Please get behind him and show your support by sponsoring him!

The target is to raise £10,000!
