Dear %Subscriber:CustomField1%,

This week on #GivingTuesday, EndoFound launched its 200 for 200 fundraising campaign, supporting the 200 million individuals worldwide who have endometriosis. Thank you to those who've already started fundraising and sharing your stories. Thank you to those who have already donated. The campaign will run through the month, so you have plenty of time to start your own fundraiser, donate, and spread the word!

Together, now more than ever, we are poised to make even more significant strides in endometriosis research and outreach. Your efforts led New York State to pass the first menstrual health law that includes endometriosis education. Your voices echoed through the chambers of Capitol Hill, leading to the creation of the first House Endometriosis Caucus. Your clarion call for answers led researchers from major research institutions worldwide to prioritize understanding this disease and how it progresses, setting the stage for future breakthroughs.

A gift of any amount continues these efforts ensuring that the world understands endometriosis and prioritizes treating and defeating this disease. It's not too late—click here to join the movement and look below for an urgent call to action for endometriosis funding. Together we are making an impact! 

In community,

This year, the annual Medical Conference focuses on a critical topic in endometriosis care: reoperative endometriosis. Presentations by endometriosis specialists from around the world are now available to view. Some highlights; Dr. Dan Martin’s presentation on research and clinical changes that have occurred in endometriosis recognition and treatment, including a discussion of three of the more than 20 anatomic areas where endometriosis is likely to be missed. Dr. Martin also offers suggestions on how to better recognize endometriosis in the bowel and how to avoid incomplete treatment. Upon registrantion you will  receive a password to access the presentations on-demand. Don’t miss a live Q&A with our speakers to follow on December 12 and 13, included in the registration fee.

How has endometriosis touched your life or the life of a friend or family member? We launched #200for200 million with the goal of inspiring 200 people to raise $200 each this December to make a world of difference to 200 million individuals with endo. Your advocacy is more important than ever. Share your story to raise critical funds for endometriosis care and impact change during giving season! Set up your fundraiser today on JustGiving or Facebook.

A few months ago, historic legislation was passed in the house to double endometriosis funding. Now, we have to get the same bill passed in senate. Please join us in contacting the offices of Senators Elizabeth Warren and Mitt Romney for two urgent requests. First, to persuade them to look into the oversight for including endometriosis as an eligible condition in the Department of Defense (DOD) Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP). Endometriosis was included in both 2018 and 2020. Second, we request they approve the highest possible funding level for the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) in the final FY 2021 appropriations legislation to ensure that resources are available to double funding for endometriosis research from the FY 2019 level and increase funding for endometriosis to $26 million. Join us by signing the petition today!

A few months ago, we met with the inspiring undergraduate students of the UteRus iGEM team at the University of Rochester, and since then, they’ve made remarkable progress on their work to create a noninvasive endometriosis test. This test could potentially replace surgery as the sole diagnostic method for endometriosis, making a diagnosis more accessible to individuals.
